Hershey’s Cocoa, Hershey’s Syrup and Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Candy Bars all come together to make this the Ultimate Triple Chocolate Hershey Pound Cake!

School started back today. I no longer have a child in the Elementary School. Just the Middle and now 2 in High School. My babies are growing up.

Here’s how the day went. I wake up at 5am. I smell the coffee brewing (thank goodness for those built in timers on coffee makers!) Open the bedroom door to see my son already showered and ready. This day is starting off really well. Number 2 child is in the shower and just a few minutes later I’m hearing #3 child’s alarm clock go off. Everyone is awake and smiling. The older 2 are out the door at 5:40am. Youngest is off to catch the bus at 6:20am. I’m checking facebook at 6:30 am and I realize, my house is quiet!

Now this could be the end of the story but I have to run up to the high school to check on #1 son’s schedule. I pop out the door at 6:50am get there by 7:10 (school starts at 7:15) And yes, I could have driven the older 2 kids but I wanted to make sure the bus knew to stop for them and if you miss that first day on the bus, a lot of times the driver might think those kids won’t be riding.

I’m back home before 8am. And so begins our school year.

The best part of the day? As each child came through the door “Mom, I’m home!” Excited to tell me all about their day, the other kids, the teachers. Still smiling. It’s going to be a good year.

I love Chocolate. It’s no secret. When I came across a recipe in an old church cookbook, melting chocolate bars into chocolate syrup, I knew I was onto something. After some tweaking and the addition of some cocoa, this cake tastes just like biting into a Hershey’s Candy bar.
