The Chocolate Devil

Since I'm so domestic and all (ha), I decided to try this recipe I found via Mom the Intern (momtheintern.blogspot.com). I'm not a big sweet eater, and I definitely am not a chocolate fan but this was pretty dang good if I may say so myself. And so easy (which is why I made it).

They are chocolate cookies with peanut butter frosting in the middle and you make them like whoopie pies.

THE RECIPE:

1 Box Devil's Food Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup Oil
Add water as needed

Mix the first three ingredients together. If it's still a little dry, add a T of water at a time until it's just gooey enough to roll the batter into 1 inch balls.



Put about 12 balls of dough on a pan at one time (1-2 inches apart). Flatten them slightly. Bake 6-7 minutes at 350* (Don't over bake these; you want them to be soft)



The Frosting:

1/4 Cup Butter (softened)
1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
I just rinsed out the bowl I used for the cake mix. Save yourself a dish!



Mix the two together with an electric mixer until smooth.



Add 2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
1 t. Vanilla
2 T. Milk (or less...add one T at a time. You just want it to be creamy enough to spread)

Frost one side of a cookie and sandwich with another.


Flush down with a glass of milk and these guys are so so so good! Fast, easy, delicious. What more could you ask for when looking for a good afternoon snack? They keep well, too. And I heard you can freeze them if you wrap them individually. Hope you try it and I hope you like them as much as I did!
