Easy Grasshopper Poke Cake

Don't worry, there aren't real bugs in this chocolate dessert! Grasshopper desserts usually refer to the combination of chocolate and mint, like this Easy Grasshopper Poke Cake. Chocolate cake mix is baked then poked with holes. Chocolate pudding is poured over the cake so it gets soaked into the cake, keeping it fudgy and moist. Next comes a layer of hot fudge for extra chocolaty decadence. The entire cake is topped with a minty whipped topping and chocolate chips—it's as delicious as it sounds. Each piece of this pudding poke cake is thick, rich, and minty.
