Ooey- Gooey Cake Mix Recipe

Do yourself a favor... make this recipe! ( didn't say it would be a favor to your waistband, but oh my goodness, the deliciousness)

A few months ago, cake mixes were on a major sale. I felt compelled to stock up, adding these to my food storage supply... then they went on sale even cheaper! I ended up with over 20 boxes of cake mix in my pantry. After buying all of the mixes it occurred to me that at most I make 5-6 birthday cakes a year, and I'm not really too fond of cake, so I started to think creatively. This is what was created:

Ingredients:

• 1 stick butter/margarine, melted
• 1 pkg. chocolate cake mix
• 1.5-2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (additional)
  
• 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter and cake mix in large bowl. Mix with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over bottom of 15x10" cookie sheet pan and press. Sprinkle with 1.5-2 cups semisweet chocolate chips and almonds. In microwave melt milk chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in 20 second intervals until melted. Pour milk mixture evenly over pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely and cut into bars.

Hair Detangler Spray

This is so easy and works so well, even my six year old was impressed. Recently, we ran out of store-bought hair detangler spray and I decided to make my own. I made my homemade version right in my empty bottle, however this could also be done in a dollar store spray bottle just as well. To mix Detangler Spray in this 10 oz bottle I combined 2 oz. of regular, super cheapo conditioner with tap water and shook it up. (Told you it was easy!)

It works perfect in my daughters hair and does not cause any greasiness. It works every bit as well as the store-bought stuff and the snarls come right out. No need to have morning drama over getting the tangles out, this takes care of the problem and makes hair smooth, soft and shiny to boot.
