I made this last night as a dessert for my anniversary dinner. Don't know what I was thinking, because it's huge, haha!! Going to bring some over to my mom's today. But man, was it fantastic!! So easy and delicious. I tried to make it slightly healthier by making a chocolate cake with applesauce like I usually do, and using skim milk in my pudding. I also used a bag of chocolate heath sprinkles. Oh man...it was just so delicious, I can't wait to have it again tonight and now I have a fantastic dessert to bring to parties. Thanks so much!!

    Pretty decent dessert, but everyone could only eat a tiny piece of it. Good in very small doses else it kinda gets to you.

    I love this recipe. Used Brownie mix (intead of choc. cake) and 2 pkgs of choc mousse. This was so darn delicious! Women were fighting over the last piece! (Pleaaase!)

    I have made this many times, and it is a delicious dessert! I make regular pudding as I like the texture and taste better than the instant pudding. I use a Chocolate Devils Food cake or Wacky cake for my cake, along with the Skor bars... Sometimes I add walnuts to it too and sprinkle some on top as well... One of my FAVS! It's just as good without the Kahlua as it is with...
