- 1 (18.5 ounce) package white cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup crushed red-hot cinnamon candies (see Note)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons (from a 4-serving size box) blueberry gelatin
What to Do

I absolutely could not crush the red hots with a rolling pin! And I don't have a food processor. I finally decided to try my blender using the "ice crush" mode, and it worked perfectly! Love the end result. They are pretty and taste really good!

A fun way to make a 4th of July dessert that looks festive and uses simple ingredients. I love to make cake mix cookies because I can buy cake mixes for a dollar and the recipes always turn out great. I'm glad I found this recipe today, so I can bake these next week.
