Ingredients
Scale
You don’t need many ingredients and can find most everything you need in the baking aisle of your grocery store for easy shopping!
- 1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (if you can’t find this exact mix, regular chocolate cake will work!)
- 1 box (3.9 oz) Jell-O Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix and Pie Filling
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons dry hot chocolate mix (any is fine!)
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- Optional: Whipped cream and sprinkles for garnish. You can even top with your favorite crushed cookies or candy bars!
Holiday Garnish Ideas: You can easily decorate this up to match a holiday, such as topping with Candy Hearts for Valentine’s Day, crushed peppermint for Christmas, blue and silver sprinkles for Hanukkah, or some orange sprinkles for Thanksgiving or Halloween!
Supplies Needed: Large bowl, cooking spray, 13 x 9-inch baking pan (you can also use an 8 x 8 pan like I did for a thicker batch!)
Instructions
- Heat over to 350 degrees F and lightly spray 13 x 9-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk dry pudding mix with milk in large bowl for approximately two minutes.
- Stir in cake mix and half of mini marshmallows (2 cups) until combined. Set aside the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows.
- Pour mixture into 13 x 9-inch baking pan and spread the top evenly with the chocolate chips.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows on top of the entire cake.
- Let cake cool completely (about one hour.) Before serving, sprinkle the cake with the hot chocolate mix.
- Optional: Once serving size is cut, garnish with whipped cream and sprinkles.
