SHEET CAKE BITES

Hey everyone! So happy to be here today to share another awesome tried and true recipe with you. One of our very favorite things our wonderful Mom makes is this Best Ever Chocolate Sheet Cake. It’s a family favorite, and we even have a white Texas Sheet Cake version as well. Both are simple, make a ton, and everyone loves them. We’ve made each countless times, especially because one batch can feed the entire family (including all the young cousins!)

When my mom saw a recipe to make Sheet Cake bites, we knew we had to give it a try. We ended up trying them for my nieces Sweet 16 Party and, as expected, they were devoured in minutes. We were sure to save a few for ourselves to sample, and we were so glad we did because they were so good!! Whether you are making them for parties, family gatherings or barbecues, these chocolate-y bites are sure to be hit. Now we just have to figure out how to make the white version in these bite-sized pieces!!

2. Place 1 tablespoon of batter in the cups of a heavily greased mini muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until baked through. Let cool before gently removing muffins to a wire rack to completely cool.
