Instructions
In a 9x13-inch dish, dump the chocolate cake mix, hot chocolate packets, chocolate milk, and melted butter. Stir it up just enough to combine, but leave it a bit lumpy because we're all about the effortless look!
Sprinkle those mini chocolate chips on top like a diva sprinkling drama. Don't mix them in—let them sit there proudly.
Pop this beauty into the fridge to cool down for about 30 minutes while you sneak a spoonful of that vanilla ice cream.
Once cooled, spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the cake layer like a frozen blanket. Top it with whipped topping and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
If you're feeling fancy, add some shaved chocolate or sprinkles. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until the cake is firm and ready to serve. Slice, serve, and bask in your frozen hot chocolate glory!
