Candy Bar Torte
Ingredients:
– 1 package of chocolate cake mix
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup of crushed assorted candy bars (such as Snickers, Milky Way, or Twix)
– 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
– 1/4 cup of caramel sauce
– Extra candy bars for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the chocolate cake mix package. Prepare the cake batter as directed on the package, and pour it into two 9-inch round cake pans. Bake the cakes according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
2. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to soften, then stir until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
3. Take one of the cooled cakes and place it on a serving plate. Spread a layer of chocolate ganache over the top of the cake. Sprinkle half of the crushed candy bars and chopped nuts (if using) over the ganache. Place the second cake on top and press down gently.
4. Pour the remaining chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides. Use a spatula to smooth the ganache over the top evenly. Allow the ganache to set slightly before drizzling the caramel sauce over the cake. Sprinkle the rest of the crushed candy bars on top and add a few whole candy bars for garnish.
5. Place the Candy Bar Torte in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set before serving. Slice into generous pieces and watch as your guests marvel at the beautiful layers of chocolate, cream, and candy bars.
