This is a WONDERFUL cake. My family loved it!! My phone rang all day until I finally got it made, and then the company started driving up for a slice! My cousin calls it the "cake that made her sin"...she ate her piece Saturday and then ate what I sent for her son and husband on Sunday! Well worth the calories! NOTE: melt the candy in the microwave to save time and for ease of melting!!

This was pretty good. The icing is GREAT! It did, however, overflow all over my oven. Oh well, next time I'll do better. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful Cake! Rich and chocolately. I filled the middle hole in the bundt with chopped Milky Way bars.
