Ingredients

Unsweetend Cocoa

1 (3.4-oz) pkg chocolate instant pudding mix

3 large Eggs

1 1/4 cups milk

1 cup canola oil

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp chocolate extract (optional)

1 tsp almond extract

3 (1.55 oz) bars milk chocolate (hersheys) chopped

3 (16 oz) cans homestyle cream cheese frosting

3 (7.75 oz) boxes frozen cheesecake bites (Sara Lee) coarsely chopped

1 (12 oz) jar dulce de leche caramel sauce (smucker's)


Directions

Grease 2 9" round cakepans, and dust with cocoa. Beat cake mix and next 7 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer 1 minute; then beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Fold in chopped milk chocolate bars. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 32 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool cakes in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks. Wrap and chill cake layers atleast 1 hour or up to 24 hours. (This step enables you to split cake layers with ease.) Using a serrated knife, slice cake layers in half horizontally to make 4 layers. Place 1 layer cut side up on a cake plate. Spread 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting; sprinkle with 1/4 of chopped cheesecake bites. Repeat procedure with remaining 3 layers, frosting, and cheesecake bites, omitting cheesecake bites on top of last layer. Frost sides and top of cake with remaining frosting. Drizzle desired amount of caramel sauce over cake letting it drip down sides. Chill until ready to serve. Decorate cake with rolled wafer cookies and remaining chopped cheesecake bites. Store in refrigerator.
