I found a recipe in one of my many cherished Church Cookbooks that looked interesting – especially if M7Ms, Reese’s Cups, chocolate pie and candies are your thing. Choco-holics, you know who you are.
My thought on deserts are that if they don’t have chocolate in them, why bother? Just have another helping of potatoes.
But this recipe caught my eye – Triple Chocolate Mess? They named it correctly. It’s not really a cake, it’s a moist, yummy, gooey mess. The neat part is you make it in a slow cooker, so after 6 hours or so, it’s ready when you are.
Here’s how you do it.
In a large bowl, put one box of chocolate cake mix, a package of chocolate instant pudding, 1 cup of chocolate chips, four eggs, two cups sour cream, a cup of water, ¾ cup oil, and a teaspoon of vanilla. Mix it up and put in a lined slow cooker. Set the temperature on low for at least 6 hours – longer won’t hurt.
When you’re ready, get out the bowls and a half-gallon of Edy’s Vanilla Ice Cream and dig in. It’s a mess, but really yummy.
