This Chocolate Candy Bar Cake is so extremely moist and the frosting is wonderful! It’s super easy to make and has a nice heavy texture. Be sure to make the frosting at least 1 night before you serve the cake because it takes some time for the sugar to fully dissolve, but it is perfect the next day.
