Chocolate Punch Bowl Dessert

DH calls this "Kahlua Cake" To make a "pretty" dessert, use a punch bowl. To make for a potluck I use a throw-away lasagna pan. This is a bit time consuming to make, but soooo well worth the effort!

1 Chocolate Cake Mix
4 C Milk
2 Lg boxes Chocolate Instant Pudding
1 1/2 C Kuhlua
3-8oz tubs Cool Whip
1 Hershey Bar or Mini Chocolate Chips

Bake cake according to directions. Cool. Mix pudding, milk, and Kuhlua with mixer. Take 1/3 of the cake and crumble it into bottom of a punch bowl. Spoon on 1/3 of the pudding mixture, working from ootside of bowl in. Spoon on 1 tub Cool Whip, again working from outside in. Repeat layers twice more. Sprinkle shaved Hershey bar or Mini Chocolate Chips on top of final layer. Can freeze left-overs.
*This is for a punchbowl. When making in a lasagna pan, I just divide between 2 layers rather than 3.

Home-made Kahlua
4 C Water
4 C Sugar
Boil for 10 minutes

Add 3/4 C instant coffee
Cool to room temp

Add 1 Ltr (.750 will work if you can't find a 1 ltr bottle) Vodka (Cheap stuff) and 4 tblsp vanilla

*I save a half gallon milk carton. This recipe will fill the milk carton and almost fill the empty vodka bottle.
