Sooo good! I used a triple chocolate fudge cake mix, and Scharffen Berger semisweet squares for the truffle layer. I didn't have any walnuts in the house, so I used pecans instead (half the amount). I would've left the nuts out completely, but I thought that they might be needed to cut the chocolaty-ness a bit. Loved the different textures in this. Thanks for posting! Made for the Emerald City Shakers for ZWT7

Talk about your decadent chocolate heaven... These are wonderful with their gooey, ganache-y goodness. I made them using a milk chocolate cake mix, milk chocolate chips for the truffle layer (also added a couple T of rum to the truffle) and white chocolate chips for the crumb layer. I also used a mix of pecans and walnuts because I didn't quite have enough of the latter and I so love nuts and couldn't bear to put in less than called for. One word of caution: don't think you're going to be able to stop with just a bite....especially if you make the fatal mistake of trying them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream...

The crew at work thought these were divine! I don't usually use cake mixes but I had a box and wanted to do something other than cake with it. These bars turn out crispy-crunchy on top and fudgy in the middle, almost like it had a layer of ganache. As I said, the guys at work loved it, which makes it 5-stars in my book! Thanks for posting!

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
