This was a hit at Thanksgiving dinner! Everyone kept talking about how good the Chocolate cake was. People where going for 2nd and 3rds. I had one sqaure left (I made a sheet cake). I was proud to take the credit. I used 4 eggs and added a little more milk. It was very moist. Also I had to cook it at 350 and for 35 minutes.

Excellent! I left out the nuts just because there were going to be kids eating it and I added vanilla to the frosting. It was very tasty and is a recipe you can really adapt to your own personal tastes.

This is fabulous - the only changes I made: Instead of nuts & candy bars, I did crushed oreo cookies (a little less than 1/2 a package), as someone else suggested. For the frosting - I added 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Excellent! I will definitely make it again!

This was awesome! I used 100 grand as my choco. candy bar of choice and it was a huge hit! This cake is a show-stopper when you cut into it so get ready for the ooh's and ah's. Next time I am using butterfinger. I will make this o'er and o'er again! YUMMMM!

I made this today for my daughter's birthday and it was AWESOME! I used 3 - 9 inch round pans so the layers would be a little thinner. I also used a large (16 oz, I believe) container of Cool-Whip. I added about a tsp. of vanilla to the frosting and didn't mix the chocolate and nuts in. I had enough frosting to frost the entire cake and still plenty to pipe a border on top. Then I sprinkled the chocolate on top, inside the border...and pressed the nuts around the side of the cake! If I could have found my usb cable, I would have taken a picture! It looked PERFECT! It tasted wonderful too! I will definitely use this again and again! Thank you!!!

Delicious cake and the frosting is amazing! I made this recipe for a friends birthday, and it received rave reviews. I changed the recipe a bit because my friend requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. So, I cut each of the three layers in half and frosted every other layer with the candy bar frosting and chocolate on the others. Then I frosted the outside of the cake with chocolate. To decorate I used hershey's hugs because of the brown and white stripes. It matched the inside and was a neat effect.

This cake was amazing. It stayed moist for days. I kept everything in the recipe the same except instead of using candy bars for the frosting I used half a box of mint oreos. If you like mint you will absolutely love this frosting. This recipe is great and I'm sure anything you add in for the frosting will be amazing.

Awesome recipe---I omit the nuts because so many people have allergies. I also don't use the chocolate pieces in the frosting. I use it just between the layers and then decorate the top with chocolate curls. I have also used different flavor of cake mixes. I do add an instant pudding, a little milk and reduce the sugar in the frosting. Everyone raves about this cake.

I made this recipe as cupcakes for my 4 your old daughters birthday party, they were a huge hit with the kids and the parents. I iced the individual cupcakes and then put one chocolate square on each one. The only change I made was I added chocolate pudding mix instead of vanilla. They were delicious!

This is a wonderfully moist cake and is not too sweet. I made it in two 9-inch pans and needed to bake it about 38 minutes total. Everyone enjoyed it!

This was VERY good. Two out of my three kids said that they thought it should be thier birthday cake next year! My husband loved it too. I did not add the nuts because of a nut allergy but it was still wonderful and the nuts weren't missed.I used two 9 inch pans.

What a great cake! I made it with Heath bar pieces that come in a bag found in the baking aisle. It received wonderful reviews by all..next time I may try a different type of chocolate candy. This will be added to my baking favorites! Enjoy..
