Funfetti Marshmallow Bars

I am not a very adventurous baker.

 

 

 

I use the same sugar cookie recipe I first tried.

 

I tried it, I liked it, others liked it, so why change?

 

Right?

 

 

I use glaze icing on my cookies,

because that is what I started with.

 

I liked it...why change?

 

 

I have tried to get out of my

comfort zone a few times,

it was not traumatizing, but I always go back to what

I started with.

 

 

Recently Kristan of Confessions of a Cookbook Queen

and Shelly of Cookies and Cups, announced that

they would be having a Recipe Contest.

 

 

This is a contest like none other I had seen before.
 

One that I thought I could actually do.

 

One that I got very excited about.

 

You see, they ask entrants to search THEIR blogs,

 find a recipe, and change it up a bit.

 

Take THEIR recipe, and adapt it into a different recipe all your own.

 

Oh...I can do that.

 

Yep Yep Yep.

 

 

I have been following them both for YEARS,

but not in the creepy, stalky way, but in a

"wow, they are amazing" way, which is totally cool.

 

 

I spent days looking around to find the

perfect recipe (which was really hard, because everything looked so YUMMY)

 

In the end, I chose

Kristan's

 

Red Velvet Marshmallow Bars

 

Here is a picture of her bars.

 

 

Don't they look Yummy?

 

While I have not tried them yet, they will be made soon, very soon.

 

I changed it up a little, adding my own little twist.

 

AND  OMG...I died a little!

 

Soooo good!

 

 

 

 

 

I changed it up by using a Funfetti cake mix and Mini M&M's.

 

I will be making this recipe again soon, like this week.

 

My mind is spinning at all the combinations that I want to try.

 

 

I am entering this Funfetti Marshmallow Bar  in the Creative Recipe Contest hosted by Confessions of a Cookbook Queen and Cookies and Cups!

 

Make sure you check out all the entries, I know I will be.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 box Funfetti Cake Mix
• 1/4 cup (1/2 a stick) butter, melted
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 egg
• 3 cups mini marshmallows
• ½  cup Mini  M&Ms

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Preheat oven to 375.  Spray 9×13 pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

 

2.  In the bowl of a mixer, combine cake mix, butter, water and egg.  Mix on medium low until a smooth, thick batter forms.  Press batter evenly into pan.  Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffy and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately top with marshmallows and candy — place back in the oven for a couple minutes, just long enough for marshmallows to puff up.

 

3.  Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
