Wonderful! I left out the marshmallows just because I didn't have any. So easy and just wonderful!

Followed the recipe to a "T" - the edges burned and the middle never cooked. Would NOT reccommend.

Great recipe! I used black walnuts, and substituted warmed Nutella for the butter, because it just seemed like it would work. What a great dessert for a wet, windy day. :)
Also, I had a small amount of Nutella left in a jar, so I used it instead

can this be in a regular big/medium/small cake pan and still cook the same amount of time? and does it matter if you take out the nuts and marshmellows?

I used a 13 by 9 pan and baked it for 45 minutes and it worked well.

To prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom simply coat them with flour or remove a half cup of cake mix (dry) and drop the chips in, shake, then remove with a strainer and continue making the cake as usual after adding the cake mix back in.

Don't expect to have one small bite of this b/c that won't happen. Perfect cake for a potluck as it does not need frosting.

i'm thinking about making this and was wondering if you could do it with a milk chocolate cake mix instead of swiss chocolate (i dont have it on hand right now)

I used chocolate fudge cake and it was delicious

This is one of my husband's favorite cakes. I've taken it to several family get-togethers and it goes quickly. Doesn't chocolate always do that! Another plus is I always have the ingredients on hand. It is named appropriately. I love to take it anywhere.

The taste was good but the marshmallows disappeared within the cake and the chips all sank to the bottom. The top also overcooked before the cake was done.
