Three Layer Chocolate Fantasy Bars*

By srumbel

Special occasions call for special desserts and these 3 layer chocolate fantasy bars definitely fit into that category. They are as chocolatey as you can get – even the pudding layer is made using chocolate milk, and the decadence of the first bite will have you deeming it worthy of a restaurant’s signature dessert. I’m excited to share this recipe with you today!

Ingredients

• 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
• ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 box chocolate cake mix (any variety)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 stick butter – melted
• 2 cups chocolate whole milk
• 3.4 oz package chocolate fudge instant pudding mix

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a 9x13-baking pan with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs and melted butter; stir by hand until well combined.

Spread into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until set. Remove cake from oven and allow to cool for about an hour.

Once the cake has cooled, place the pudding mix and chocolate milk in a bowl and beat by hand with a wire whisk until thickened. You can also put this in a quart mason jar and just shake the mess out of it for a minute or two.

Spread pudding over cooled cake.

To make ganache

Place chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and well blended into a rich chocolate sauce. Spread ganache over pudding layer.

Chill for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars and serve.
