Description

Gooey, chocolaty dessert that feeds a crowd … Looks fancy, but is simple to boot!

This has been a family favorite for 20+ years.

Ingredients

  • 1 package German Chocolate Cake Mix, Baked In A 9" X 13" Cake Pan According To Package Directions.
  • 2 boxes - 4 Servings Each - Instant Chocolate Pudding, Made With Milk, According To The Package Directions For Pudding. (Sugar Free, Fat Free Pudding Is Ok To Use, Though The Cake Doesn't Keep As Long.)
  • 24 ounces, weight Cool Whip Whipped Topping (I Usually Use The "Light" Version.) I Use 2 - 12 Oz. Containers Of The Cool Whip.
  • 2 packages Heath Bar Bits (Make Sure It Is The CHOCOLATE Covered Toffee Bits And Not Just The Toffee Bits..)

Preparation

Remove the cake from the pan about 15-20 minutes after coming out of the oven.

Cool completely.

Using a long, serrated knife, cut the cake in half, vertically and in half again, horizontally, so that you have 4 squares.

Line the bottom of a punchbowl with 2 squares of the cake. (DO NOT WORRY if the cake falls apart as you line the bowl … It will not matter!!)

Top this first layer of the cake with HALF of the remainder of the ingredients … in the following order, spreading as you go …

pudding,
Cool Whip,
Heath bits.

Then … Repeat again starting with the remainder of the cake, pudding, Cool Whip and Heath Bits.

(This recipe originally also called for Kahlua to be sprinkled onto the cake before the pudding! Extra tasty for adults only dessert.)

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

YOU CAN NOT MESS THIS UP!

When ready to serve, spoon out with a big spoon onto dessert plates or even into bowls!

It serves a bundle of people and it is ALWAYS a hit!!!!

You can also experiment and make different varieties using the same technique …

White cake, vanilla pudding, Cool Whip, almonds, raspberries

or

Pound cake, lemon pudding, Cool Whip, blueberries…

Really any combo should be great!
