Tips:

• For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cake mix.
• To make your own hot fudge, melt 1 cup chocolate chips with 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat.
• For a fun twist, add a layer of chocolate ganache between the cake and the pudding layer.
• To make chocolate ganache, heat 1 cup heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over 1 cup chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.

Enjoy!
