State Cakes

So loving to get unusual recipes, I have a friend who served some time in prison. He shared with me a recipe that he and some of the other inmates apparently made fairly frequently. With great privilege I present to you- State Cakes.

Ingredients-
1 sleeve of oreos (or for true prison authenticity use duo's)
1 honey bun
1 pack of 2 nutty bars
Bit of Jelly
your favorite candy bar (suggestions include snickers, butterfingers, reeses etc)

Separate oreos, scraping the cream into a bowl and the cookies onto a plate. Crush the cookies into a fine powder and add very small amounts of water until a slightly sticky dough is formed. Put the dough into a ziploc or grocery bag and flatten it out into a circle large enough to wrap a honey bun in. Then smear a little bit of jelly in the center of the oreo dough. Then since there are not jars of peanut butter in prison scrape the peanut butter from the nutty bars, and smear that on the jelly. then crush pieces of  your favorite candybar on that, remembering to reserve a little for the top, and place the honey bun on that. Then place the honey bun on the top of all of that, and wrap the oreo dough around it and flip it over.
Then take the cream from the oreos and mix in a little milk or water to thin it into a more spreadable cream. spread that on top of the state cake, and sprinkle the remainder of the candybar and nutty bar pieces.
Then sit back, and enjoy while wondering if your doctor was really serious about those "imperative diet changes" you needed to make.

  2. You should rely use a jumbo iced honey bun from 7-11. You can also get real peanut butter. Every inmate has there own way, Most of what i have seen used no cookies at all. Its called a birthday cake.

  3. @jay wallace- thanks for reading and the comment! Since getting this recipe I've talked to others still from different states who called them smashies. but I love the variety. like you said, food is as individual as the people who cook it.
