Directions

  • Step one

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x18-inch baking sheet with PAM® Baking Spray and line bottom with parchment paper.

  • Step two

    Beat cake mix, pudding mix, milk, eggs and butter in large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until blended, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.

  • Step three

    Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

  • Step four

    Meanwhile, place berries in a medium bowl with sugar and lemon juice. Stir until sugar is dissolved and refrigerate 30 minutes, stirring at least once.

  • Step five

    Cut cooled cake into 1-inch pieces. Divide half the cake pieces into twelve half-pint jars, pressing down gently. Divide mixed berries into jars and top with remaining cake pieces.

  • Step six

    Just before serving, top each berry shortcake cup with Reddi-wip® and a PEEPS® Sparkly Wild Berry Flavored Marshmallow Bunny. Enjoy!
