Here at the Food on Fridays carnival, any post remotely related to food is welcome. Recipes are enjoyed, but you can just share a picture of your fridge snapped on the day you cleaned it out, explain where mushrooms come from, or write a rollicking raspberry rhyme.
In other words, the Food on Fridays parameters are not at all narrow. I think of it as a virtual pitch-in where everyone brings something to share; even if the content of one item is unrelated to the rest, we sample it all anyway and have a great time.
When your Food on Fridays contribution is ready, just grab the broccoli button (the big one above or the new smaller option at the bottom) to paste at the top of your post and join us through Mr. Linky.
Here’s a Mr. Linky tutorial:

Food on Fridays with Ann
A big thanks to Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker for her homemade Warm Delights recipe!
If you have cake mix on hand, these are a super-easy, super-tasty, super-fast and super-fun way for friends and family to create personalized desserts.
I had one just last night with chocolate chips and caramel sauce stirred into chocolate cake mix and recreated it especially for this post (see photos below).
Be sure to drop by Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker to thank her for this life-altering dessert experience.
Here are the instructions:
Warm Delights
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cake mix (any flavor)
- 1/8 cup water
- 1-2 tsp filling/mix-in of your choice
(ex: caramel, hot fudge, strawberry or raspberry jam, coconut, marshmallow, nuts, peanut butter, chocolate chips, etc.)
Instructions:
- In microwave-safe cereal-sized bowl, stir water into cake mix.
- Add filling(s).
- Microwave on high for 1 minute (microwave times and temperatures vary; start with less time on your first attempt).
- Warm Delight will be very hot. Let sit at least 3 minutes before digging in.
In this photo, the 1/8 C water is combined with 1/4 C cake mix.
Here, the chocolate chips are about to be stirred in. I snapped another photo showing what it looked like when the caramel sauce was added, but it was out of focus. Imagine the swirls of sauce drizzled artfully over the mixture.
Here it is, straight from the microwave, piping hot.
Forget ice cream sundae parties—now Warm Delight mix-in parties will be all the rage!

I am so glad that you are enjoying these. They are such an easy snack for my older kids to fix.
I could use a Warm Delight every night. (morning, noon and night to be exact!) Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.
I once bought a warm delight to try, with a coupon. I never got to try. One of the kids made it when I was out of town. But I do remember them saying it was good, but not worth the high price it costs for the one serving. I am really trying to teach them to weigh cost versus the benefit of a food item.
Thanks so much!
Shari
That looks yummy! Thanks for hosting!

I discovered the store-bought version in college, and my friends and I *loved* them. I think we found them on sale for $1 or $2 for a while, when they were new. But this is even cheaper and better. I made Kevin and myself one each tonight with Reese’s Pieces and Devil’s Food mix — a nice end to the day!
We used to make a version of these as kids…it drove my mom crazy when she’d go to make a cake and find a half-full box of cake mix.
I’m sharing Homemade Strawberry Jam…a tradition of my Grandma Ruth’s.
I noticed that the links aren’t showing up on the post. Is that something I’m doing wrong on my end?
Thanks for hosting, Ann!
Just what I need…an easy recipe for warm cake!
That reminds me of a post I did in the winter – cake in a mug – but this recipe is even easier!
We’re planning on grilling up a storm this weekend. I just posted a recipe share link on my site. Would be great to add to your list! Hope you’ll stop by and add a favorite:
