Chocolate Toffee Flan Cakes

 

Ingredients:

 

1 package (18.25 oz.) chocolate or devil's food cake mix (plus the ingredients to make the cake)

 

2 squares (2 ounces) unsweetened baking chocolate, coarsely chopped

 

1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow crème

 

2 tablespoons milk

 

3 toffee bars (1.4 ounces each), coarsely chopped and divided

 

1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

 

Directions

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

Using PAM, lightly spray the two flan pans.  Place parchment circles in the bottom of each pan.

 

Prepare cake mix according to package directions.  Divide batter evenly between the two pans. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

 

Remove to cooling racks.  Cool in pans for 10 minutes.  Turn out onto non-stick cooling racks or serving plates.  Cool completely.

 

Cut each chocolate square into several pieces. 

Place chocolate, marshmallow crème and milk in a covered, microwave bowl. 

Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. 

Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth.  Cool slightly.

 

Chop toffee bars.  Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the chocolate mixture. 

Add most of the toffee into the mixture (reserving some for the decoration on the top of the pies). 

 

Divide the mixture evenly between the two cakes.  Garnish with whipped topping and remaining chopped toffee. 

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
