• Eggs- You will need 3 eggs and 1 egg yolk for this recipe.
• Milk- Replaces the water in the box mix directions.
• Butter- we will be using this instead of the oil the box calls for. You also need it for the filling.
• Marshmallow fluff- This is for that luscious filling. 
• Powdered sugar- To sweeten up the filling.
• White almond bark- Or white candy melts to dip the cakes in.
• Red candy melts- For those iconic stripes.
