For the Love of Chocolate

I make a fantastic dessert I call Death by Chocolate! It is a chocolate lover”s dream!

However when I hosted a Valentine’s Day Brunch I wanted to change things up a little. You can read about the brunch here. So I created a Valentine’s Day version…

For the Love of Chocolate

Ingredients

1 box Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake mix
8 oz Cool Whip
Reeses peanut butter cups – 2- 8 packs
Chocolate instant pudding mix (large)
Valentine M & M s (pink, red, white)
Kahlua

Red Velvet Cake

Prepare Red Velvet cake in a 13 x 9 pan according to box directions
1 1/4 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

Chocolate Pudding

Prepare pudding according to package directions. Refrigerate to set.

Reeses Cups

Unwrap and freeze in a zip lock bag.  After hardened, chop coarsely. I use a tenderizing mallet.

Valentine M & M s

Chop these to use as a colorful topping.

Preparation

After the cake is done I let it rest for 10 minutes.  I poke holes in it with the end of a wooden spoon then drizzle Kahlua into the holes. (This step is optional)

In the bottom of a truffle dish(I bought mine at Target)

• Crumble about 1/3 of the Red Velvet cake (spread evenly)
• top with 1/2 of the chocolate pudding (spread to the sides of dish with rubber spatula)
• Top with 1/2 Cool Whip (spread evenly)
• Top with chopped Reeses cups
• Crumble 1/3 of the Red Velvet cake
• top with the rest of the chocolate pudding (spread to the sides of dish with rubber spatula)
• Top with 1/2 Cool Whip (spread evenly)
• Top with chopped M & M s

BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS!

Chill in the refrigerator until serving!

Share the Love!

Serve this to your Valentine! They are sure to LOVE you even more…if that’s possible!

Happy Valentine’s Day
