1 (18.25-ounce) package dark chocolate fudge cake mix
1 large egg
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (3.9-ounce) package chocolate fudge instant pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 (16-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, egg, and butter, stirring well to combine. Press mixture evenly into a lightly greased 9-x-13-x-2-inch baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Cover and chill for 5 minutes.

In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar at low speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in 2 cups whipped topping.

Sprinkle all except 1/4 cup chopped candy bar evenly over cake layer. Spread cream-cheese mixture evenly over candy-bar layer. Spread pudding evenly over cream-cheese layer. Spread remaining whipped topping over pudding layer. Sprinkle with reserved chopped candy bar. Yield: 12 servings
