Tips for the Best Christmas Chaos Cake

• Don’t overmix the batter once the candy pieces are added.

• Add marshmallows only as a topping—they melt too much inside the cake.

• Use butter instead of oil for extra richness.

• Add a pinch of cinnamon if you want a warm holiday spice flavor.

• Let kids help decorate—this is a perfect family recipe.
