Awesome! So simple & so good!! I used 1/2 cup canola oil instead of the 2 different oils and 1 cup mini chocolate chips. Very fudgey & rich!!

Super simple, easy to adapt to any cake mix in your pantry and delicious! I broke up a lemon cake mix with a potato masher first, added the oils and eggs then added some leftover creme de menthe chips. To make them uniform in size I used a very small round scoop. This recipe is a definite keeper.

I did these w/o any chips or add-ins as the only chocolate item I baked for my Christmas give-away baskets. They taste very chocolatey and the olive oil just adds a rich texture. Thanks so much for posting these!!

We love these at our house. Often we use the yellow cake mix and m&ms or some other kind of candy bar candy. Makes them just that much better! Very simple and quick great for a late night sweet tooth!
