Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 package of cake mix yellow or white
- 1 12 oz. package of M&M’s
- 11 Kit Kat candy bars 44 individual bars
- Ribbon to go place around the cake optional
For the Chocolate Frosting
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder sifted
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
For the Cake
- Prepare the cake mix according to cake box directions. Bake them in two circular pans, 9x9 as directed on the cake box. Let them cool before frosting them.
- Before you frost the cakes, you should unwrap the Kit Kat packages so they are ready to place on while the frosting is soft and they stick to it.
- Frost the two cakes and place on top of the other. Once you have both cakes frosted and put together, start lining the Kit Kat’s vertically on the sides of the cake. I usually do two at a time. Once that is done, pour the M&M’s on top of the cake.
- If you want you can put a ribbon around the cake to make it look pretty.
For the Chocolate Frosting
- Whip butter and cocoa together until smooth in large bowl.
- Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar.
- Slowly stream in milk until frosting reaches desired consistency.
- Scrape sides and whip again until light, fluffy and smooth, 1-2 minutes
