made this as an extra at a cookie swap last year. miscalculated the cooking and when I tried to take it out of the rice cooker, it came out in pieces because it wasn't quite done. Put the pieces back in and cooked it a little more. put the pieces on a plate - presentation was pretty bad but it tasted great and I still sold a few rice cookers. yum - can't beat warm oozing chocolate.

I made this today for the first time. I made it in the DCB. I did the following:
1 Chocolate Fudge Cake mix - made to box directions, poured into DCB (I forgot to spray with veg. oil)
1 can of Chocolate frosting - spooned onto cake batter
Microwave uncovered for 12 minutes. The directions I have say to let it set for 30 minutes. I did this but don't know for sure if you need to let it set or not.
It was a huge success at the carry-in I went to!!
