Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (pudding-free)
3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
1 1/2 cups whole milk
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Place butter in a 13×9 inch baking dish and melt in a 350 degrees F preheated oven.
Remove pan from oven once butter is melted and coat the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the melted butter.
Smooth the cake mix into an even layer with a fork.
Spread the dry instant chocolate pudding mix evenly over the cake mix layer.
Carefully drizzle the milk over the pudding layer.
Top evenly with the chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until the top is set but the center remains moist.
Notes
Ensure the pudding mix is instant, not cook-and-serve, for the proper chemical reaction. Whole milk is recommended for the richest flavor. Serve warm for the best texture.
