- 1 box Vanilla Cake Mix 13.25 oz.
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened

Bake the vanilla cake in a thin, even layer on a lined sheet pan.
Thin layers make stacking and cutting way easier.
Let the cake cool all the way, then cut out small rounds with a cutter.
That keeps the size consistent and edges tidy.
Mix butter, sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla until smooth.
Pipe the filling onto half the cake rounds.
Sandwich the cakes, press gently, and chill them for a bit so they stay firm for coating.
Melt white candy melts with coconut oil and coat the cakes, smoothing as you go.
Melt the chocolate chips, pipe thin stripes across the tops, and chill until set.
