Ding Dong Choco Bars (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake Base

01 - Water, eggs, and oil as listed on the cake box instructions

02 - 1 package (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix

→ Creamy Filling

03 - 2 cups powdered sugar

04 - 16 oz marshmallow cream

05 - 2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter, softened

06 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

07 - A pinch of kosher salt (about ¼ teaspoon)

→ Chocolate Coating

08 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream

09 - 1⅓ cups (8 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Set oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan and add parchment paper for easier removal.

02 - Follow the directions on the cake mix box to prepare the batter. Pour into your pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until done. Let cool completely.

03 - Combine the cream and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals (15 seconds), stirring until smooth. Chill for around 45 minutes to let it thicken.

04 - Whip the butter until fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar and salt. Blend in marshmallow cream and vanilla until everything is smooth and creamy.

05 - Spread the filling over the cooled cake and chill for about 30 minutes. Top with the ganache and refrigerate for another hour. Slice into 18 bars and serve.

# Notes:

01 - You can melt chocolate on the stove instead of using a microwave.

02 - Take your time—make sure each layer cools fully before moving to the next step.
