This is incredibly moist and dense and rich. I have been adapting this recipe over the years and I think it's finally reached perfection. Enjoy! (Be sure to use quick cooking oats instead of regular oats, or the cake will have more of a crunchy texture.)

Steps:
- Pour boiling water over oatmeal and butter in large bowl; mix until butter is melted and let stand 10 minutes.
- Add sugar and eggs and mix well.
- Mix together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa and stir into wet mixture.
- Mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Pour batter (it will be a little runnier than a usual cake batter) into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Don't overbake - check with knife after 30 minutes.
- While cake is still quite warm, poke holes every two inches or so with the handle of a wooden spoon. Drizzle caramel syrup over the cake evenly, spreading if necessary to get it even and so it goes down into the holes a little.
- Frosting:.
- Just before serving, carefully fold the pudding (I use one snack-pack of pudding and it's about perfect) into the Cool Whip. Frost the cake with it and sprinkle the crushed candy bars evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate any leftovers.
