    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, hot chocolate mix, water, eggs and oil with an electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes.

    Fold in the bite size Twix bars. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans.

    Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans to cooling racks; cool completely. Wrap the cake layers and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
