Notes
I have used both Pillsbury and Betty Crocker cake mixes; cannot tell a difference. Be sure instant pudding is not sugar-free. Be sure cake is completely cool before covering, especially if you've dusted with powdered sugar. May substitute vegetable oil for melted butter. If you reserve more than ¼ c chips for bottom of cake, be warned that the finished product may not retain integrity when you remove it from the Bundt cake pan!
