Cake Bars

In an attempt to create a cake recently I ended up with cake bars instead. I made a fudge cake which stubbornly stuck to the cake pans. I haven't had this happen since I first started baking but anything can happen if you are not paying attention.:) So to save my cake I just took out what I could from the pans and had a little fun. The following is how to make them:

Combine cooled cake with frosting or melted chocolate. I used the chocolate this time. Just microwave 12 ounces of chocolate chips with 1 Tbsp shortening. Mix after heating for 20 seconds and repeat until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If you are using frosting, just add a cup to the cake. If mixture is too dry, add a little more. After the cake is crumbled and evenly mixed with frosting or chocolate, press into 9x13 baking sheet. Press mixture in evenly and then top with any combination you would like. For these bars, I used crushed pretzels and chocolate. Freeze until chocolate is hard. They are similar to cake pops just easier to make since you don't have to individually dip anything.
