Make it Monday: Kraft Triple Chocolate Tres Leche Cake

Recipe Below
After the holiday's I end up with an abundance of odds and ends in the baking department that need used...
I had Sweetened Condensed milk and Evaporated milk needing to get out of my cabinet so....
I made this:

Bake the boxed cake

Put your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for melting.

The recipe states to use a blender...
I didn't at first...but then I saw where it might be easier to pour this mixture from the Carafe as opposed to a bowl.

Melt Chocolate as directions on pkg indicate
Blend milks and sour cream til smooth

Add melted chocolate to blender



Poke holes in Cooled, Baked Cake 

Pour some of the mixture over cake

Wait til some of it absorbs then pour more. Keep doing this til you run out of liquid in your blender.

Refrigerate and enjoy!!
Hubby said he would totally eat this again.

**I didn't make chocolate curls like the recipe said...no one seemed to care LOL
And I didn't add cocoa to the Cool Whip either.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CURLS
