Follow the directions on the back of the box for the cake, however do NOT add the oil, and instead add 1 teaspoon baking soda. Now if you are using anything else but the spice, you can add your own spices in for flavor. I use cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Now add 4 very ripe bananas. Mix this altogether very thoroughly, then follow the boxed cake's directions on cooking it. This makes an amazingly moist and delicious cake. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

2 Tbsp light corn syrup<br />
Dash of Salt<br />
3/4 Cup Milk<br />
1/3 Cup Peanut Butter<br />
1 Tspn vanilla extract<br />
<br />
Mix sugar, corn syrup, salt, and milk together in a deep saucepan. Cook over high heat, without stirring until candy thermometer reaches 230 degrees F. Now add peanut butter and vanilla extract, with no heat, to the fudge and beat vigorously until candy loses its shine and starts to thicken. Quickly pour this into a buttered container and let stand until firm. Cut into Squares. Delicious!Gail Youngbloodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11001766878155459105noreply@blogger.com0
