90 Second Dessert

These individual desserts are a huge hit because they're so fun and so easy! The ingredients are "anything goes"! We've had them with canned sliced peaches, coconut, heath toffee bits, chocolate chips, fresh cherries chopped, broken up candy bars, cherry pie filling and so on.

* Cake mix, any flavor or flavors you choose
* Water
* Toppings such as chocolate chips, M&Ms, Reeses pieces, Toffee Bits, Coconut, nuts, fruit (bottled, canned or fresh), sprinkles, mini-marshmallows, syrups, you get the idea...
*water

In regular cereal size bowl, mix 1/2 cup dry cake mix and 1/3 cup of water. Stir with a fork until it's no longer lumpy. Add any toppings you desire. Microwave cook for 90 seconds. (My microwave takes 100 seconds for the fruity ones.) Eat! You can top the cake with whipped cream or ice cream or, again, anything goes! Enjoy!
