Blue Ribbon Recipe by

What is there not to love about chocolate pudding, chocolate chips, chocolate ganache, snickers candy bars, and, oh yeah, how about some caramel, too? And, yes, all in one amazing cake! *~Drool~* The original recipe comes from a Betty Crocker magazine, but I changed it to be from scratch instead of using a cake mix (it's how I roll...) and I changed a few of the ingredients and toppings. Because of requests, I've added the boxed cake mix instructions to the bottom of the recipe for those who may not want to follow the scratch recipe.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We couldn't wait for this chocolate bliss Bundt cake to come out of the oven and finish baking so we could taste it. Then, we couldn't wait to get seconds. The chocolate cake is moist, tender, and rich. It's topped with a chocolate ganache and caramel to add to the decadence of the dessert. Last but not least, chopped Snickers bars are sprinkled over the cake. A tasty dessert for a special occasion.
