I made this cake twice and replaced the banana pudding mix with vanilla pudding. It gives the cake more of a "baked from scratch" taste. Also, I subsituted the water for milk, added a capful of vanilla extract and folded in 6 oz. of mini chocolate chips to the batter just before pouring into the pan. The mini size chips don't sink! Of all the "cake mix" cakes I've baked this was everyone's favorite! MMMMMMMMMM

The trick to making this recipe "fool proof" is by adding this WARNING to the ingredients. Must use "Classic" yellow cake mix. DO NOT use "butter" recipe/mix. The classice yellow cake mix calls for oil and not butter. The butter recipe does NOT turn out right once you add the sour cream. It will fall flat and be gooey inside everytime with the wrong/butter mix. Hope this helps ; )

I finally had time to try out this recipe for my family. I didn't have M&M's or anything that might work to add to the top of each melted chocolate. So...I added another "waffle" pretzel to the top of each melted chocolate to make chocolate pretzel sandwiches! They were a big hit with everyone who tried them! I made half with Rolo's and half with milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses.
