My mascot dessert.

This doesn't have Cool Whip but it does have an entire container of sour cream, which I think should count for something. This is also the story of the worst thing that has ever happened to me in the kitchen.

Required Equipment:
-Crock Pot
-SOMETHING TO STIR WITH (important).

Ingredients:
1 package chocolate cake mix
3 oz. package instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs (note: eggs must be stirred into mixture)
1 cup water
2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
Spray crockpot with cooking spray.
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another bowl. Add the dry to the wet and beat the mixture until smooth. Add the chocolate chips last.
Cook for 6-8 hours, and serve in bowls with ice cream (cinnamon is nice).

Serves:
8-10 people

When I tried this out the first time on my roommates of First Street, I had the simplified version of the recipe that assumed that any dunce could figure out that you're supposed to mix the ingredients before cooking them. But I thought too hard and imagined some heat-activated process of diffusion, and just dumped all the ingredients in the crock pot and left it for 8 hours. I built this up like it was God's own dessert, and then when I served it there were, undeniably, chunks of fried egg in our chocolate pudding cake. My roommates politely tried to downplay how disgusting this was, but finally Tricia spit out a sizeable, slimy chunk of egg and yelled "Fuck!"

Honestly, every time I think about that, I laugh until I cry a little.

Lesson: You gotta stir it. It's delicious sans the eggy clots.
