chocolate + sprinkles + pinterest = win

I know it's only January 4th,
and many of us probably made some sort of decision
a few days ago to eat healthier this year.

This post is not going to help you with that decision.

{sorry}

Every month Jess hosts the Pintertest Kitchen.
It's a good excuse for me to peruse my pins and
figure out what to recreate.

This month I landed on this:

And by some miracle I had all of the ingredients on hand.
Even white chocolate.
{where did that come from?}

Here's the recipe:

6 oz. dark chocolate (i used semi-sweet)
12 oz. white chocolate
3 Tbsp. yellow cake mix
sprinkles

Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave
over in a double boiler.
Line a square baking pan with parchment if you have some
{i didn't, and it was fine}
and pour the melted dark chocolate in the pan and spread with a spatula.
Let harden in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate and, once, melted,
stir in the cake mix until smooth.
Spread evenly over the dark chocolate.
Top with sprinkles.
The more the better. :)
Let it harden in the freezer.
Once it's hard, break it into small pieces.

It's rich and you'll only need to eat a small piece,
so it's not that bad for your new healthy diet plan.
{right?}

This was a fun, easy treat.
The kids will like it.
Go ahead and add this to your "make it" file.

Thanks, Jess, for a good excuse to get the sprinkles out tonight.

this was one of my first pins. mostly because it's just so cute. and i've always been on the fence about whether to try it. but usually cute = nasty. but now i know. AND it think i have white chocolate on hand, too. thanks to Julie's snickerdoodles. thanks for linking up, friend!
