Candy Bar Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Gourmet Brownie Torte is Decorated with Candy Bars and Sweets

— October 16, 2015 — Lifestyle
After Halloween has come and went there is always a ton of leftover miniature sweets and candy bars that sit around the house. A great way to put those treats to use is with this Peanut Butter Nutella Candy Bar Brownie cake by How Sweet Eats that instructs how to make a decadent chocolate cake and decorate it with leftover candies.

The cake features a rich base made from creamy Nutella chocolate spread, peanut butter, dark chocolate, vanilla, flour, eggs, sugar and butter. The cake is then topped with a homemade Nutella ganache with more peanut butter. To decorate, candies such as Kit-Kat bars, Reese's Peanut Butter cups, M&M chocolates and candy corns are crumbled and sprinkled onto the cake. The decorating doesn't require any advance skill, simply careful placement of all the treats onto the ganache.
