How to Make Chocolate Heath Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the bottom only of a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions, but only using 2/3 of the batter for the cake (reserve the rest for cupcakes).
  4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is cooling, in a separate bowl, beat together two (3.4 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix, 2 cups milk, and 2 cups softened vanilla ice cream until smooth and thick.
  7. Refrigerate the pudding mixture until the cake is completely cool.
  8. Once the cake is cool, spread the pudding mixture evenly over the top.
  9. Spread 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip over the pudding layer.
  10. Sprinkle approximately 1 cup of crushed Heath bars over the Cool Whip.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
