Ingredients
It can be as low calorie or high calorie as you wish depending on the ingredients you use. I used all light and sugar free items, where possible.1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate cake mix (reduced sugar or regular)3 eggs (or 3/4 cup Egg Beaters)1/2 cup coffee liqueur (Kahlua)2 (8-ounce) containers whipped topping (lite or regular) 3 (4-serving size) packages instant chocolate pudding (sugar free or regular)6 cups milk (skim, 1%, 2%, or whole) 3/4 cup Heath Bits O Brickle toffee bits, divided1/4 cup Chocolate Syrup (lite or regular, sugar free tastes terrible!)1/4 cup Toasted slivered almonds, crushed
Directions
1. Bake cake mix according to package directions for one 13 x 9 x 2-inch cake (but I make it with 3/4 cup Egg Beaters instead of regular eggs, 4 oz [or 1/2 cup] unsweetened applesauce for the 1/2 cup of oil, plus 1 or 2 tablespoons oil added for texture).

2. When cake is cool poke holes in the top and pour the coffee liqueur over it. Break up the cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

3. Mix the pudding mixes with the milk until thick. In a large punch bowl (or similar sized container) layer 1/2 of the cake cubes, 1/2 of the pudding, 1/4 cup of the crushed candy bits, and 1 tub of the whipped topping. Repeat layers following the same order.

4. Sprinkle top with 1/4 cup crushed toasted almonds, 1/4 cup toffee bits, and 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, if desired.

5. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Makes 1 large punch bowl.
