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
Get out all your ingredients before you start your recipe. That way you are not surprised halfway through the baking process when you realize you’re out of one of your main ingredients.
To help your cakes to be more moist, I always use jumbo eggs.
I have found that it makes a big difference
Make extra! I find that my cooking disappears quickly, when I catch “Not me” he is in big trouble and going on a diet.
When measuring honey or molasses I always spray the measuring cup with nonstick spray. Also works on scoops and spoons for placing batter on cookie sheets or in muffin cups. Slides right out!
When the recipe calls for you to dust the pan with flour, use confectioner’s sugar or cocoa powder instead, depending on the recipe.
My tip is to refrigerate your flour the night before you need to use it.
Let eggs come to room temperature before using them in baking
The only baking tip that I have is ALUMINUM FOIL!!! It keeps everything from getting all burnt on!!
I alway have a thermoter in the oven to regulate the temp.
I grind my own wheat(I live in Montana and it is plentiful here). What I don’t use right away, I put in a plastic zip bag and store in the freezer. It is important to keep fresh wheat flour either in the fridge or the freezer to maintain freshness.
Add 1/3 cup instant coffee to dry ingredients when making chocolate chip cookies.
I leave my pizza stone in the oven all the time to create an even heat.
When using a slow cooker, instead of water for the liquid, I use any beverage I can find in the fridge. Orange pop for pork. Root beer and colas for beef. Apple cider for just about anything. Gingerale, sprite, and mt. dew are great with ham. MIX AND MATCH!
If you want it to taste good, use butter (in place of margarine).
Don’t be afraid to try something new!
Try using 25% less sugar in your favorite baking recipes. You’ll save money and probably won’t notice any difference in the taste.
When working with peanut butter and other sticky substances, I always use PAM or some other cooking spray in the measuring cup to make removal and clean up easier.
Thanks for the contest.
Always bake with your grandchildren
My tip…test your oven occasionally with an oven thermometer to make sure it is accurate…even a few degrees difference can make a big difference in your baking.
