My Chocolate Explosion Cookie Cake is great for any cold winter’s day, or really any day of the year!
With yet another winter storm hitting us, I have a lovely simple cookie cake recipe for you today that is yummy as can be!
Go get your favorite Chocolate Cake Mix and I bet you’ve probably got the rest of the ingredients right in your pantry.
If you don’t have the exact candy mix I used, don’t worry. Use whatever you have, or whatever mix you like best. 🙂
Stay warm everyone!
I used my springform pan because I love the way this cookie cake turns out when I use it.
You certainly don’t have to use a springform pan, you could use a round pie plate, or even a regular 13 x 9 pan.
Just look at that lovely little bit of chocolate caramel candy snuggled gently inside the cookie cake. It’s like a big, soft chocolate hug. 🙂
Yummy!
You want to be sure to let your Chocolate Explosion Cookie Cake cool before cutting and serving.
You can always warm up individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
