Death By Chocolate

In anticipation of Halloween I have chosen this recipe, Death By Chocolate, not only because of its name, but also, for flavor and ease of putting this together. Some days you just want chocolate and candy and anything sweet--this will surely satisfy!

You will need to consider investing in a Bundt cake mold to make this properly, but otherwise, you should have all the equipment--and, definetely the skills.

(Adapted from a colleague's recipe)

Note:  This recipe can easily be reduced in calories by substituting the sour cream with 2% Greek  (2 cups) and only using 6 oz of chocolate chips.  It is a little firmer and dryer, but quite good when cutting calories
