Ingredients

1 package (15.25 oz.) dark chocolate cake mix
Ingredients listed on the box to make the cake
1 box (3.56 oz.) instant Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Pudding mix
4 cups milk, divided
1 jar (12.8 oz.) Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate topping
1 box (3.56 oz.) instant Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Pudding mix
1 container (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 Giant (6.8 oz.) Hershey Dark Chocolate candy bar, chopped

Steps:

Bake the cake according to package directions using a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Mix the pudding mix with 2 cups of milk in a medium bowl. Poke holes in the hot cake with the round end of a wooden spoon and slowly pour this mixture over the cake, trying to fill the holes.
Microwave the chocolate topping (with the lid off) for about 45 seconds or until it pours easily. Pour evenly over the top of the cake. Let the cake cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine the second pudding mix with the additional 2 cups of milk. Carefully fold in the whipped topping. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the chopped candy bar over the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Store the cake (covered) in the refrigerator.

JELL-O® POKE CAKE

Jell-O® Poke Cake image

An old Southern recipe passed down through my grandmother. You can vary the flavor of gelatin used in order to get a specific color for any holiday, e.g. lime for St. Patrick's day. You can top this cake with berries, sprinkles, or any topping of your choice.
