Halloween Homemade Suzy-Q's

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C Butter, softened
  • 1 C White Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/2 C Evaporated Milk
  • 1 T Vanilla
  • 2 C Flour
  • 1/2 t Salt
  • 3/4 C Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 t Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 t Baking Soda

Filling

  • 1/2 C Butter, softened
  • 1 - 7 oz Jar Marshmallow Fluff
  • 1/2 t Vanilla
  • 1 C Powdered Sugar
  • Food coloring - optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line 9 x 12 cookie sheet or cake pan with parchment paper.
  3. Cream together butter and sugar. Add in egg, then milk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Slowly stir dry ingredients into wet mixture. Mix well.
  4. Add 1/2 the batter to the pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 9-12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let that cool and repeat with remaining batter. Let the cake cool completely, at least a couple of hours.
  5. Meanwhile, start on the filling.
  6. Mix the butter and fluff together. When working with fluff, Run the jar under hot water for a minute as well as the spoon as it helps make it come out more easily.
  7. Add in vanilla and then sugar and mix well. We decided to go with orange food coloring to be a little more festive with the time of year.
  8. Spoon filling onto one cake and then slowly smooth out. Carefully put the other cake on top and slice it up.
  9. Cut it long ways in thirds and then about 1 inch slices from there. You'll get 24 bars at that size.
