First I must give all credit to Hershey as they are who I originally take the recipe from and my grandma and mom who always made this yummy cake!  How I miss them.

Try adding a little more chocolate by using enjoy life chocolate chips or chocolate chunks in between the layers or sprinkled on top.   My family can never have too much chocolate.
