De-Lish-ess Decadence

I'm not really sure why...but chocolate, to me, lately has tasted so de-lish. (ok, I do know why!) My love for chocolate has definately magnified 10 fold since I've entered into the third trimester. Here are two recipes I came across (one of which, I've had recently at a company potluck) that I thought I'd share. I am planning on making them sometime. Very soon, hopefully!

Decadent Chocolate Delight (never had before, want to try!)
1 pkg. (18 oz.) choc cake mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup choc chips
1 cup water
4 eggs
3/4 vegetable oil
1 pkg. (4-serving size) choc instant pudding mix

Grease inside of slow cooker. Combine cake mix, sour cream, choc chips, water, eggs, oil and pudding mix in slow cooker and mix well. Cover, cook on low setting for 6-8 hours. Serve warm with ice cream.

Four Layer Chocolate Delight (have had before- muy bueno!)
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans)
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 lg. carton of Cool Whip
2 (3 oz.) pkg. choc pudding cooked with
3 cups milk

Mix 1st three ingred. together and pat into a 9x13 pan. Bake for 15 mins in a 350 degree oven. Let cool completely. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1/2 of the carton of cool whip together and spread over the cooled crust. Refrigerate until set. Make pudding according to pkg directions and let cool. Spread over cream cheese layer. Spread remaining 1/2 carton of cool whip over the top of pudding. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired. Refrigerate again until chilled through.
