Prep time: 30 min.

Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- For Cake Batter:
- 1 bag 3 MUSKETEERS® Brand FUN SIZE® (reserve 1 cup for crumb topping below)
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 8-oz. container sour cream
- 1 9 x 13-inch pan(s)
- For Crumb Topping:
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 3 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
- 2 medium-sized mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- 1 9 x 13-inch pan(s)
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap and chop the 3 MUSKETEERS® Brand FUN SIZE®. Measure 1 cup of chopped candy; set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
- Combine the butter and sugar in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and soft, about 5 minutes. Beat the eggs into the batter, one at time, until smooth.
- Decrease the mixer speed to low, and beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by 1/2 of the sour cream. Stop and scrape again. Beat in the remaining flour mixture and sour cream.
- Fold in the chopped 3 MUSKETEERS® Brand FUN SIZE®, reserving the 1 cup of chopped candy for the crumb topping. Give the batter a final mix with a large spatula. Set aside.
- To make the crumb topping, stir the ingredients with a mixer until evenly blended. Be sure to include the 1-cup of chopped 3 MUSKETEERS® reserved from Step 1.
- Pour the cake batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Crumble the topping in an even layer over the entire surface of the batter.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
- Cut into 2-inch squares (4 lines x 6 lines), and sprinkle a little bit of confectioner’s sugar on top.
