Death By Chocolate Cake

1    chocolate cake mix
1    small can butterscotch sundae topping
1    small tub Kool Whip
1    can sweetened condensed milk
3    Skor bars,   crushed

Make the chocolate cake according to the box instructions,  either in
a single layer or in a bundt (hole-in-the-middle) pan.  While the
baked cake is still quite warm out of the oven, take it out of the
baking pan, place it on a large turkey-type platter and pierce it
repeatedly with a fork or kitchen knife, making sure to work over the
entire cake.  Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over the hot
cake - it will soak into the holes you've just made.
Let the cake cool. When the cake is cool, spread it with the
butterscotch topping and the Kool Whip, finishing off with the crushed
Skor bars.

This recipe won me "Best Chocolate Cake In North America" on some
chocolate site; it never fails to please, and there are NEVER any
leftovers !

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Roll Recipe

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cups pumpkin
2/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup powdered sugar
8 oz. cream cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Optional Pecan pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, soda and pumpkin pie spice and set aside. Blend eggs, sugar and pumpkin. Add flour mixture and mix well. Spread onto a greased and wax paper lined jelly roll pan allowing mixture to taper at one end (helps with the rolling once cooked.)  If desired sprinkle the pecan pieces. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Mix remaining ingredients and set aside in refrigerator. Once pumpkin cake is cooled, turn out on a dish cloth  dusted with powdered sugar, roll loosely and let cool (this will help form the roll). Once cooled to room temperature, mix cream cheese mixture to soften. Unroll pumpkin cake and spread cream cheese mixture leaving a 1/4" border (the cream cheese will spread and may ooze out the sides once you start to roll. This will save some filling.) Roll pumpkin starting from the tapered end. Powder outside of roll before wrapping in wax paper or foil so not to stick to wrapping and chill for at least 1 hour.
