Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (I used fat-free, it was fine)
- 1 5oz (140 g) chocolate pudding (cook & serve)
- 1/2 cup (115 g) butter
- 6 whole graham crackers
- 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips
- 40 large marshmallows
Instructions
- Combine milk and pudding mix and place into greased 13×9 baking dish (I used a 9×9 so i used a little less of everything, particularly the cake mix)
- Place graham crackers (broken in half) on top of pudding mixture with space in between each one
- Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Throw a few more in for good measure.
- Spread DRY cake mix over top and place the butter by tbsp on top of dry mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Mix slightly so there isn’t large areas of dry ingredients.
- Add marshmallows and bake for 8-10 minutes and if needed 1-2 minutes under a high broiler to brown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the cake mix added dry instead of being mixed into a batter?
The dry cake mix is spread over the pudding layer and dotted with butter by the tablespoon, so it bakes into a dense, cobbler-style crust rather than a traditional cake layer. After the first 25 minutes the recipe says to “mix slightly” to eliminate any large dry patches before the marshmallows are added.
Does this recipe require cook-and-serve pudding, or can I use instant?
The recipe specifically calls for a 5 oz cook-and-serve chocolate pudding. The oven’s heat activates the starch in cook-and-serve pudding so it thickens and sets properly during baking, whereas instant pudding is pre-set for cold milk and behaves differently under heat.
How do I get the marshmallows nicely browned on top?
After the initial 25-minute bake, add the marshmallows and return the dish to the oven for 8–10 more minutes. If they still need color, move the dish under a high broiler for 1–2 minutes — the recipe flags this as an option but warns it happens fast, so watch closely.
