Triple Threat Chocolate Cake and the Bachelor

Alright, alright!  Since SO many of you were demanding my recipe (ok, just one person) I thought I would post it on here to share!

This is by far the most simple, sinful, delicious cake you will bake.  Preferably for a trashy TV night...like Bachelor/Bachelorette!

First, a short back story.  In college, my 6 roommates and I would watch TV together and on a particularly bad/hard/lazy/trashy tv day, I would bake this cake for us and we would slowly devour shovel it down our throats.  What?! We're still ladies.  We just know what we like!

Ok, back to the Bachelor this season.  A few thoughts:

1) Love Ben.  He's fun, cute, smart, has a personality and "is available."
Anyone catch last night how that oh-so-humble model kept talking about his hair and touching it (while touching hers) like, in a fetish type way?  And remember when she made that really intelligent comment about last season when he said "I'm available."  Oh boy, it's just too good already!

2) Anyone else want to give Jenna a high five....in the face? 
WHAT A BABYYYYYYY! Why didn't her parents ever tell her to knock that behavior off?  The fact that she's a blogger and writes about "why do boys hate me?" "Why doesn't anyone want to date me?" is the reason why I didn't want to start a blog in the first place.  Too much whining and self pity in the blogosphere.  No one wants to hear that, Jenna!

Oh, and one more comment (amongst many I will not share), did you see the way she entered the room before the rose ceremony?  All puppy dog like?  PUH LEEZE!  Knock that crap off!  You are a woman, not a 3 year old child!  But, you sure do crave attention in the most inappropriate ways like a 3 year old would!

3) A note to Ben: Good luck warding off all the crazies.  I'll be rooting for you on the sidelines at the rose ceremonies, regardless of the producers choices for you.


And now, to more important things...like Triple Threat Chocolate Cake.

Here is my oh-so-simple recipe and directions.  I'll be waiting on the other side to hear you say, "That's it?!"


TRIPLE THREAT CHOCOLATE CAKE


Ingredients:
1 box Devil's Food chocolate cake.  It HAS to be the one with a cup of pudding in the mix.  This is a deal maker and breaker, people!

1 tub of chocolate fudge frosting

1 bag mini chocolate chips

Directions:
Follow the directions on the box for mixing and baking the cake.  I typically use a bundt pan to bake it.

Allow the cake to cool completely, if not almost completely.   This is important for the frosting.

Transfer the cake to a serving dish and use the entire tub of frosting to frost the cake.  Yeah, I said it.

When the cake is completely covered with frosting, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top and on the sides.  Even on the little hole on the inside of the bundt.

Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!


Bonus: If you want to make it "fancy" try adding Heath bar bits, peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips.  Heck, crush up a butter finger bar and sprinkle that sucker all over!  You're the boss-act like it!


Until next week, I urge you to eat a healthy amount of chocolate cake.....and stay sane, people!
