This s’mores variation of a dump cake recipe uses chocolate pudding, chocolate cake mix, semi sweet chocolate chips, graham crackers, and toasted marshmallows! A total fool-proof dessert!
I love, love, LOVE dump cake recipes. I remember the first time I had ever heard that term was the first time I tasted a dump cake. It was the classic version with yellow cake mix, chopped walnuts, crushed pineapple, and cherry pie filling. One of the older ladies from our church in Philadelphia brought it to pretty much every function we held together.
Those church ladies have the BEST recipes, don’t they?!
I remember that cake fondly because it was around the time I started dating my husband that we were attending there. Paul seriously LOVED that cake, and if you know anything about his tastes, then you know it must be good! He eats virtually ZERO baked goods and goes for pudding, Jello, and ice cream exclusively for dessert. Actually, I think he’d forgo dessert altogether for pretty much anything else. I can’t understand it at all!
