Snickers Bundt Cake #BundtAMonth

It’s time again to break and the flour and butter and celebrate my inner baker for #BundtAMonth! This month’s theme is caramel. What comes to mind when I think of caramel? Candy bars. Sticky, sweet, and chewy from the perfect caramel inside. I decided to throw caution to the wind and try my spatula at making a Snickers Bundt Cake.

Nailed it!

DH and the kids left Saturday to head up to PA to visit his parents.  I had a full weekend to myself, but sadly the Georgia weather has not been cooperating.  I ran errands Saturday in the on and off pouring rain, and Sunday it poured most of the day.  A rainy Sunday called for spending the afternoon in the kitchen baking and filling the house with delicious aromas.

How did I make this beautiful looking Snickers bundt cake?  It was super easy.  I used a basic vanilla bundt cake recipe, performed my usual tweaks, and mixed in a ton of chopped miniature Snickers bars.  Ok.  Not really a ton…just 2 cups, but it was plenty to fill the cake with half melted, mini nuggets of caramel and peanut goodness.  If you are a Snickers fan, you may want to give this cake a whirl.

This cake was well received at the office, not that this should surprise anyone.  Helloooo.  It was made with Snickers bars and drizzled with extra caramel.  The success of this experiment made me think of all the other fabulous candy I could use to mix into a bundt cake.  YUM!

Anyhoo…focus…back to this month’s theme of amazing caramel.  Check out the lovely assortment of Caramel themed bundts from my FAB foodie friends!  I guarantee, you will be drooling in minutes flat.
