Candy Bar Cake Recipe-It's Simply Delicious

Bar Cake Candy Delight Ingredients:

Cake

1 12-ounce frozen pound cake

3 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

12 tablespoons (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp.

3-4 tablespoons milk 1 1-pound box confectioners' sugar

3/4 cup salted roasted peanuts

2 cups dulce de leche

Coating for cake

10 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped

1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Assemble the cake: Trim 1/2 inch off the short ends of the pound cake, then trim the domed top to make it flat. Stand the cake on its side and slice in half horizontally to make two equal-size rectangles.

Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals stirring until melted. Beat butter, 3 tablespoons milk & the confectioners' sugar with a mixer. Beat melted chocolate. Add more milk, if needed, to make the frosting spreadable.

Lay the cake rectangles on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread some of the frosting on one short end of each cake & press together to form a long rectangle. You can slide a thin piece of cardboard under the cake for moving to a platter later.

Spread the remaining frosting on the cake in 1-inch-thick layer, making the edges slightly higher  than the center. Smooth the top & sides with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

Mix the peanuts & dulce de leche in a  bowl.

Remove the cake from the freezer. Spread peanut mixture on the frosting in a flat, even layer. Freeze utnil the dulce de leche is firm, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the chocolate coating: Microwave the chocolate & butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.

Pour the chocolate on the cake & spread it evenly over the top & sides with an offset spatula. Freeze until chocolate cools slightly, 6 to 8 minutes.

Starting at a short end of the cake, dip the edge of an offset spatula into the chocolate at an angle & gently pull up, repeating along the top of the cake to create a wave pattern. Chill 10 minutes before serving. Then eat and enjoy!
