This triple-decker take on our absurdly easy crunch cake is a celebration of all things candy bar! With absolutely no baking involved, the hardest part is waiting overnight for the layers to freeze. But, oh, is it worth it.

More About This Recipe

  • With four kids and one dessert-loving man in the house, someone is always begging for ice cream or chocolate or a candy bar. So I figured, why not let the people have their cake…and candy…and ice cream this weekend?!

    And so was born this insane twist on the now-classic Tablespoon Crunch Cake. A triple-decker splendor, with each layer devoted to someone’s favorite candy bar. There’s Snickers™ on top for the twins. Peanut butter cups for the sassy teens. And Kit Kats™ for the mama. (Because if I’m going to make a Triple-Decker Candy Bar Crunch Cake, I think I deserve an entire layer of the candy I love.)

    Though it sounds complex, this recipe is absurdly easy to toss together. No baking required. Just prep, assemble and freeze. The hardest part? Waiting overnight for the layers to freeze. But, oh, is it worth it! We’re talking three amazing layers of crunchy, creamy, candy bar-y (is that a word?) goodness that makes everyone feel like a winner.
