Mocha Crunch Cream Torte

I turned these into 20 cupcakes. I followed the recipe to the letter, baking them for about 12 minutes (my oven is fast though). I cooled them and then cut them in half with a serrated knife. I frosted the middle and sprinkled with Heath bite candy and then frosted the top and sprinkled with Heath again. They were a huge hit and b/c I got 20 cupcakes instead of 16 servings of cake they were only 250 calories! Loved them! Great for kids too.

This cake was great!! The crunch was a nice touch and the cake wasn't too sweet. The only change I made was to add about 1 Tablespoon milk to the frosting as it seemed a little dry. This was very quick to make and a definite keeper.

I made this *three times* for parties over Christmas and people raved about it every single time, and still are! I used Skor Bits that you can buy in a bag. Definitely a favourite that I would make again.

I made this for my boyfriend's birthday party and everyone loved it! However, since I don't like to torture friends with the paltry amounts of frosting CL recipes make, I did double the frosting recipe. That probably negates some of the lightness, but that frosting was so darn good it was worth every bite! I added a smidge of leftover coffee from the morning's batch to give it some mocha color and coffee flavor. Will definitely make again!

Thought the combination of ingredients would be great but my guests and I were disappointed with this dessert. The cake was ok and the frosting/filling ok, but together it just tasted odd.
