Yesterday I made a batch of Chocolate Parfait Bars to send for my children's teacher's appreciation lunch today. I do not make these too often, because I love them so much, I can not help but eat more than I should. :) These are very easy to make, and the word yummy does not even start to do them justice. Here is the recipe if you would like to try them...but beware, if you like this sort of treat they are hard to resist.
Chocolate Parfait Bar Recipe
Crust:
1 devils food cake mix
1 stick of butter (I use smart balance 50/50)
1 egg
Mix together and press in a jelly roll pan and bake on 350 for 9 minutes. (you can use a normal cake pan, but increase your baking time by a few minutes.) Remove and let cool completely.
Filling
1 envelope of gelatin
1/4 cup of boiling water
4 cups of powdered sugar
1 stick of butter (softened)
1/2 cup of shortening
1/2 tsp vanilla
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water, stir to remove lumps. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Next mix your gelatin mixture with the sugar butter, shortening and vanilla
and beat until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled chocolate crust. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
Frosting
1.5 cups of chocolate chips
4.5 tablespoons of butter
Melt chocolate chips and butter together, stir until smooth. (use low heat to do this step) Spread evenly over filling. Cover and refrigerate until cool. Cut into bars and put on a plate or platter to serve. (note...let them sit for about 20 min before cutting after removing from the refrigerator.)
