Mom'S Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2 ounce) package chocolate pudding mix, cook and serve
1 (18 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Cook the pudding according to the package directions.
Add the dry cake mix to the cooked pudding and mix well.
Pour into a greased and floured 8x12 inch pan.
Pour chips and nuts over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour I have also made this using a white or yellow cake mix and butterscotch pudding.
Use butterscotch chips for the top.
I also omit the nuts if I make it for my family, as 2 of us are allergic to nuts.
