My friend’s husband said these should be called Penguin Bars, but I think that implies that they’re frozen. He ate quite a few of them though. Enough to equal a whole penguin.
It’s hard to resist chocolate cake bars studded with chocolate chips and topped with buttercream.
The cake part of this is the same recipe as my Double Chocolate Bundt Cake. The kind of pan makes all the difference. I like both versions, but I think the bars are even more moist than the cake.
No ingredient photo this time, but here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
- Devil’s food cake mix
- 1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding (small box)
- 3 Tbs. cocoa
- 1-3/4 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 bag chocolate chips
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 Tbs. milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
