CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CARAMELIZED NUT CRUNCH

This is one recipe that I had forgotten about. I don't know where I originally found this recipe but, just came across it again. This is an amazing dessert that always got rave reviews, chocolate, crunch and whipped cream.... what more could you ask for?? As a side note..... you MUST use parchment paper where called for. Wax paper WILL NOT work, trust me!! :)

1 1/2 cups chopped nuts
38 Nilla wafers crushed
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 box Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix
Whipped cream ( i prefer homemade)


Spray and then line three 8" round pans with parchment paper (do not use wax paper!!)

Stir together nuts, brown sugar and butter and press on top of parchment paper.

Prepare cake mix according to directions on box and pour over nut mixture.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Cool cakes for 10 minutes, scrape sides of pan, remove cake and peel off parchment paper.

Place layer #1 on cake plate, top with whipped cream. Repeat with remaining layers and serve.
