Ho Ho Bars

Description

Chewy, fudge-topped bars inspired by the classic Ho Ho snack—soft chocolate cake, layered with a light, creamy vanilla filling, then finished with a chocolate coating. Quick to make from a boxed cake mix and pantry staples. Store in an airtight container to keep the cake moist and the filling fluffy.
