This dessert is dangerous. It is called death by chocolate for a real reason – the delectableness of this creation is literally to die for. It has everything sinful and delicious in it: toffee candy, German chocolate cake, and whipped toppings. This dessert goes with just about every meal. While it isn’t as great a center piece as some cakes, this is definitely not meant to be stared at; it’s meant to be devoured.
