#sponsored #BDMixingParty Hi guys! I’m back with another recipe that is perfect for Spring, Easter, and Summer. This time of year always makes me crave Key Lime Pie. I wanted to create something fun using key lime flavor. I decided I wanted it to be easy, fun, and quick! I opted to use boxed cake mix for the easy and BLACK+DECKER® Performance HELIX™ Premium Hand Mixer for the quick 😉
Lately, I have loved using the HELIX™ Premium Hand Mixer by @blackanddeckerappliances! It’s much easier to use and has three separate attachments to tackle any mixing recipe. I made these Key Lime Cake Truffles using the HELIX™ beaters and dough hooks. There is also a wire whisk attachment that is perfect for meringues. This lightweight hand mixer is sturdy and made for heavy-duty ingredients–very similar to the generic stand mixer, except there’s no fuss. It also has five speeds and a turbo boost. I opted for black, but it comes in 6 colors to match any decor. You can get your BLACK+DECKER today at Walmart or Amazon https://blackanddecker.mvk.co/2c5u2
Let’s jump into this recipe! Check out the full details below and thank me later!
