Chocolate Candy Bar Cake

This is a wonderful recipe for an impressive looking cake! I have used candy bars with and without nuts as well as adding my own chopped pecans to the icing spread and sprinkling on top of the cake.

Chocolate Candy Bar Cake

1 box chocolate cake mix ( I use the Lazy Woman’s Chocolate Cake)

1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, softened

1 c powdered sugar

1/2 c sugar

10 (1.5 oz) milk chocolate candy bars with nuts

1 (12oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Prepare came mix according to directions. Pour into 3 greased 8″ round pans.

Bake at 325F for 20-25 min. or until a fork comes out clean.

Cool in pans for 10 min. Remove from pans and cool completely.

Icing

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and sugar at medium speed with mixer until creamy.

Chop 8 candy bars finely. Fold cream cheese mixture and chopped candy into whipped topping.

Spread icing between layers and on top and sides. Chop remaining 2 candy bars and sprinkle half over the top and press the remainder into the sides of the cake.
