You can’t do any baking without the help of Hershey’s…from chocolate chip cookies to swiss mousse cake using Hershey’s cocoa, I always keep several of their products handy in my kitchen. To get you in the baking 
mood this holiday season, I have a delicious recipe for you, as well as a surprise!
First up, let get to the recipe.
No-Bake Chocolate Cake Roll
Combine one four-serving sized package of vanilla instant pudding mix and two tablespoons of Hershey’s Cocoa in a small bowl. Add one cup of milk and beat on low speed until smooth and thickened. Fold in one cup of thawed whipped topping, blending well. Spread one tablespoon of pudding mixture onto each chocolate wafer in a nine-ounce package, and place wafers together in stacks of four or five. On foil, stand wafers on edge to make one long roll. Wrap tightly and refrigerate five-to-six hours. Sift one tablespoon of Hershey’s Cocoa over 2-1/2 cups of thawed whipped topping, and blend well. Unwrap the refrigerated chocolate wafer roll and place it on a serving tray. Spread whipped topping mixture over the entire roll. Remove wrappers from Hershey’s Hugs Chocolates and Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates and place on the roll to garnish. To serve, slice diagonally at a 45-degree angle. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

About A Cowboy's Wife
When using a cake mix, flour the pan with some of the mix instead of flour.
For some recipies subsitute milk and use cream for a richer taste.
My baking tip is that I spray everything with PAM, even if not required to do so…Makes life a lot easier
It sounds simplistic, but many people don’t know that there are different measuring cups for liquids and dry ingredients and the most basic mistake you can make is to use the wrong kind when measuring ingredients.
Instead of greasing and flouring a pan, I use Pam spray with flour…it works great
My best baking tip is to have everything pre measured before you begin to mix and bake. It is SO much easier to stay organized and get things correct when you plan ahead.
My tip replace half the butter in cakes/muffins with yogurt to get a softer, more moist cake/muffin.
Make sure eggs are room temperature, not cold.
Don’t leave chocolate chip cookies cooling on the kitchen table unsupervised if you have a cat. Years ago I did that and ran downstairs to do the washer/dryer thing. Came back upstairs to find our cat Tony walking among the cookies and licking the chocolate chips that were sticking up out of the cookies.
My tip is to use an oven safe thermometer to gauge the actual temperature of your oven. Just because the oven says 350 degrees, it may actually be hotter or cooler.
THanks for the great giveaway.
It sounds simple, but dont open the oven too often and check on baked goods. It’s tempting, but will damage
Oooh! That looks SO yummy!! My tip is to be sure you have all the ingredients before you start! I need to take my own tip because I’ve done this too many times…started to make something only to find out I’m missing an ingredient.
I use parchment paper so less cleanup as well as they cookies don’t sit on a hot cookie sheet until I stick it in the oven.
My tip is to always follow the recipe . do not vary.
practice makes perfect and mistakes are usually tasty
My tip is to refrigerate your flour the night before you need to use it.
My tip is if you have a baking mix that is getting towards the expiration date, add a teaspoon of baking powder to revive it.

Don’t leave unattended ingredients on the counter. The cats will get them.
If you crush and flatten the minced meat and keep it this way in freezer, you can later cook it more easily.
When making fruit breads, I substitute orange, peach or pear juice in place of the water. It makes for a very moist bread.
