Almost everyone remembers the Peter Paul Candies logo...........
"Sometimes I feel like a nut - Sometimes I don't. Almond joy has nuts - Mounds don't!"
This cake is so reminiscent of the Almond Joy candy bar. It always gets our author rave reviews. Try this cake at your next family function or work gathering. You surely will feel like a nut - I mean winner!!!
Technically, marshmallows are a confection -- a candy. They've been around in the form we know them since the mid-1800s. They are called "marshmallows" because part of the early recipe called for sap from the root of the marshmallow plant.

| Ingredients |
| ~~Almond Joy Cake~~ |
1 package chocolate cake mix |
| 30 large marshmallows |
1 cup evaporated milk |
| 1 cup sugar |
1 bag 14 oz coconut |
| ~~Frosting~~ |
1 1/2 cup sugar |
| 1/2 cup evaporated milk |
1/2 cup oleo, butter or margarine |
| 1 bag 12 oz chocolate chip |
1 cup nuts |
|
| | | Directions | The cake:
Bake cake as directed on box in a deep 9 X 13 pan. If you use just what the recipe calls for the marshmallows there shouldn't be a problem in overflow. Some may want to use the whole bag of marshmallows - this is not recommended. Combine one cup evaporated milk, marshmallows, and one cup sugar and cook until melted. Add coconut and pour over hot cake.
Frosting:
In a medium saucepan bring 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup oleo to a boil and then remove from heat. Add chocolate chips. Stir until melted. Add one cup chopped nuts. Pour over warm cake and let sit. Serve after cake has cooled. This cake is very very rich and should be served in the smallest serving size possible. |
