Holly's Crunchy Caramel Apple Dip

1 cup powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese
1 container caramel apple dip
1 package Heath Bar Toffee Bits

Whip together powdered sugar and cream cheese, then spread in bottom of small pyrex or 8x8.  Get caramel dip to room temperature (it will come cold from the grocery store because it's in the refrigerated sections of fruits and veggies) then spread over cream mixture.  Top with toffee bits. Chill and serve with sliced apples. Honeycrisp preferred ;)

Mindy's Chocolate Bundt Cake



The cake recipe is:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 eggs
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add flour mixture alternately with the milk. Mix well.

Pour into 10 inch Bundt pan. Bake for 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

The recipe for the glaze is:

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c semisweet chocolate chips

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not allow it to bubble. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Cool slightly before drizzling over a cake. If you want to make this ahead, it can be cooled and reheated in the microwave.
