To satisfy the chocolate lovers in our family, I added hot fudge topping and chocolate chips to a caramel-covered dessert that's quite popular in our area. The moist cake layer is a breeze to prepare using a boxed mix, and the rich toppings make it especially decadent. —Karen Stucky, Freeman, South Dakota

Ingredients

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 jar (12-1/4 ounces) caramel ice cream topping, warmed
  • 1 jar (11-3/4 ounces) hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle chips

Directions

  1. Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips.
