VANILLA ROCKY ROAD CAKE

Craving something sweet and crunchy, I started searching the pantry. This is what happened when I started with a basic yellow cake mix and began adding ingredients. It is unbelievably decadent and very easy to make. Any brand of cake mix will work, but the eggs, oil and water amounts may change. Follow the directions on your mix.
