Ingredients

1 box (13-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
2 jars (16 ounces each) chocolate frosting
32 Kit Kat candy bars
1 cup milk chocolate M&M's

Directions

Prepare chocolate cake mix according to package directions, baking in two 8-in. cake pans. Allow cakes to completely cool.
Spread frosting between layers and around the top and sides of the cakes, creating a double-layer cake.
Break the Kit Kat into individual wafer bars lengthwise. Gently press each wafer bar onto the cake vertically, side by side, around the entire cake, leaving a 1/4-in. space in between each piece to allow for easy slicing.
Cover the top of the cake with M&M candies, slightly pushing them into the top layer of frosting to adhere. Slice into pieces; serve.
