turn the oven in to 350 degreees
get chocolate cake mix from the store (or you can make your own)
put a package of chocolate chips in the batter
get a bunt pan and grease the inside of it
put half the batter in the pan
then take some candy bars of your choice (almond joy, snickers, butterfinger etc...) put it on top of the batter
pour the rest of the batter on top
put in the oven for 15 min it prob wont be done so keep checking it after the 15 min is up!
its super good hope you lik it!
ps you dont need to frost it but to make it look prettier you can melt chocolate chips and drizzle it down the side after the cake is done baking! :) [ looloo12's advice column | Ask looloo12 A Question ]
