Of all of the #cakemonday cakes this one is my fav!

Back in the day a recipe swept the food world…….Watergate Cake! There was salad also……but I’m telling a cake story……
As with all legends there are many stories as to how they came to be. Pistachio pudding was the new flavor sensation in the early seventies. At the same time the Watergate scandal was all the news!

Kit Kat Pie

We also love candy bars! One of my favorite desserts is my Butterfinger Pie. I have made this pie for years and always gotten rave reviews. After we posted it I actually had a local person contact me and ask if I would make him some of the pies for an event at work. I did and they loved it!

So, how do you improve on what you think is perfection…..you try another candy bar. Kit Kat Bars were the perfect candy switch up for the Butterfinger Pie.
