Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 6 Three Musketeers bars, chopped
Dairy and Creamy Components:
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) tub whipped topping
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Finishing Touch:
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and follow the chocolate cake mix instructions, carefully preparing the batter and pouring it into a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Allow the chocolate cake to cool entirely at room temperature, ensuring no residual warmth remains.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend whipped topping, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently chop Three Musketeers bars into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Carefully fold the chopped candy bars into the creamy mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the topping.
- Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the candy-infused topping across the entire surface, creating a smooth and even layer.
- Immediately before serving, enhance the dessert by artfully drizzling chocolate syrup over the top, creating an appetizing visual and flavor accent.
Notes
- Chill the cream cheese beforehand to ensure a smoother, lump-free mixture when blending with whipped topping.
- Freeze Three Musketeers bars for 10 minutes before chopping to prevent them from becoming too sticky and maintain clean cuts.
- For a lighter version, substitute regular cream cheese with low-fat or Greek yogurt cream cheese to reduce calories without compromising taste.
- Create a gluten-free option by using a gluten-free chocolate cake mix and checking that the additional ingredients are also gluten-free.
