My husband remembers the box mix "Tunnel of Fudge" cake and wants me to try to recreate it. I kind of remember the cake myself - it was made in a bundt pan. What on earth do I use to make the fudge??? I tried mixing sweetened condensed milk with chocolate chips but it was too heavy and sank to the bottom of the cake! Ideas???
This is a recipe I found on the Pillsbury site. Or you can google it and find other recipes.

I had never heard of this cake, I will try it.
I used to LOOOOOVE this cake. There's a similar tunnel of fudge in the Chocolate Cake Mix Doctor book. I just omit the nuts that the recipe calls for. I actually brought one in to work the other day and our office manager announced to the whole company that the cake is better than sex!
