Almond Joy Cake

This may be the best cake I have ever tasted. It is soooo divine. The recipe calls for whole almonds but I used sliced almonds and it was fabulous. I also only used a tablespoon of butter instead of 1/4 cup. I would recommend some vanilla ice cream or a large glass of ice cold milk to accompany it. Enjoy!

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 and 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
25 large marshmallows
1 (14 oz.) bag shredded coconut
1/4 cup butter
1 (12 oz.) bag chocolate chips
1 cup toasted almonds

Bake the cake mix according to box directions and poke holes in it with the end of a large wooden spoon. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup evaporated milk and sugar. Bring to a boil and stir in marshmallows until melted. Add coconut and pour mixture over cake while both are hot.

Melt together remaining evaporated milk (1/2 cup), butter and chocolate chips. Stir until melted and then add the almonds. Spread on top of cake.
