Instructions
Prepare and bake the dark chocolate cake according to package instructions in a 9x13-inch pan.
While the cake is still hot, poke holes all over using the handle of a wooden spoon.
Mix one box of pudding with 2 cups of milk. Slowly pour over cake, filling holes.
Microwave chocolate topping until pourable (about 45 seconds). Spread evenly over cake. Let cool completely.
In another bowl, mix remaining pudding box with 2 cups milk. Fold in thawed whipped topping.
Spread whipped pudding layer over cooled cake and sprinkle with chopped candy bar.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Store covered in fridge.
Notes
Poke the cake while it's hot for best pudding absorption. Chill well before slicing. For variety, drizzle with raspberry sauce or serve with ice cream.
