Starbucks Oat Fudge Bars

/

Here's how to make them!

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups oats
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (just less than one full can)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a stand mixer, cream butter sugars. Add the eggs. Mix the flour, baking soda, and oats, then slowly combine with egg mixture. Spread ¾ of the oat dough into a 9-inch-by-13-inch rectangular baking pan, using a spoon to spread to the edges.

In a pot on medium-low heat, melt together the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla. Pour and spread this over the layer of oat dough. Top with the remaining oats, dropping in clumps over the chocolate. Bake for 25 minutes, then cool and freeze before cutting into squares.

Here is how to make these really fun Rainbow cupcakes!

What you'll need

  • White cake mix (we used an 18-1/4-ounce box)
  • Food coloring (red, blue, green, and yellow)
  • Baking cups
  • Whipped cream (optional)

How to make it

  1. Prepare your favorite white cake mix, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls. Following the chart below, dye each bowl of batter a rainbow color.

    RAINBOW COLOR DROPS OF FOOD COLORING
    Purple 9 red and 6 blue drops
    Blue 12 drops
    Green 12 drops
    Yellow 12 drops
    Orange 12 yellow and 4 red drops
    Red 18 drops


  2. Line 16 muffin pan wells with baking cups. Evenly distribute the purple batter among the cups, then the blue, and so on, following the order shown. As you go, gently spread each layer of batter with the back of a spoon to cover the color underneath.

  3. Bake the cupcakes according to your recipe directions. Before serving, remove the paper wrapping, and if you like, top each cupcake with a whipped-cream cloud.
