Gooey, Chocolaty Punch Bowl Cake
- 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..)
- 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!
