Ingredients
1 pkg. (15.25 oz.) Betty Crocker dark chocolate cake mix
Ingredients listed on box to make cake
1 box (3.56 oz.) instant Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Pudding mix
4 cups McArthur 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.) Cool Whip, thawed
1 Giant (6.8 oz.) Hershey Dark Chocolate candy bar, chopped
Instructions
Bake the cake according to package directions using a 9×13-in. baking pan.
Mix one of the pudding mixes with the 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 cake cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine the second pudding mix with the additional 2 cups of milk. Carefully fold in the Cool Whip. 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.

Thanks again to The Best Blog Recipes for this amazing recipe.
Can you use a yellow or white cake with this and still use all the chocolate?
I was thinking of using yellow cake and banana pudding with chocolate topping!
What is McArther milk?
It’s just a brand of 2% milk (deanfoods.com). I just googled it since I’d not heard of it either!
A brand if milk.
Dark Chocolate anything isn’t going to happen with me. But, a regular chocolate cake with either white chocolate pudding or cheesecake pudding poured over it with chocolate sprinkles/jimmies would do just fine!
