Chocolate Candy Bar Cake

This chocolate cake recipe is the last chocolate cake you’ll ever make! Chocolate Candy Bar Cake recipe makes an impressive cake without difficult preparation.

Chocolate cake is good. But, Chocolate Candy Bar Cake is better!

Way better!

In fact, Chocolate Candy Bar Cake is quite possibly the best and last chocolate cake recipe you will need! If you are looking for a decadent dessert, look no farther – the Chocolate Candy Bar Cake recipe is it!

Now, “need” may not be the appropriate word when talking about a chocolate cake but you gotta try this recipe – I think you will agree that you “need” it!

I always start with the Lazy Woman’s  Chocolate Cake recipe as a base but if you are short on time, a chocolate cake mix works too.

Actually, I think I can have the Lazy Woman’s Chocolate Cake recipe mixed up in almost the same amount of time as it takes to open a box and add eggs, oil and water – and without the added preservatives!   😉

Please Note: While this recipe does not fall into the traditional foods category, there are times when we give in to our desire to eat and enjoy something sweet. I do reserve this recipe for special occasions as part of the 80/20 Rule, and, it is delicious!
