This recipe calls for a box of Pillsbury Devil’s Food Cake Mix and then adding in the marshmallows, nuts, chocolate chips and raisins and frosting with Pillsbury Fudge Frosting then should you choose, decorating it with walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins, gummy worms, flies, and dead frogs (Halloween spooky).
As I’m a baker I can’t bring myself to use a boxed cake mix and canned frosting because I want to know what’s in what I eat, and to me, fresh is always better, moister, creamier, etc. Below you’ll find my Devil’s Food Cake recipe you can find my Fudge Frosting on the site.
