It would have been much better with half & half or even plain milk. Also, the chocolate chips added too heavy of a chocolate taste. I think it would have been tastier with just the chocolate toffee bits. It was a total waste of ingredients.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"12\/20\/2010 17:39","GUID":"d2841a008f6f4e91b6bd907bbe645967","MemberId":5414746,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"gdeezy","SubmittedDate":"12\/20\/2010 17:39"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"10\/26\/2010 13:34","GUID":"f315674241094f4baff38f559bc6a457","MemberId":5532203,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"rbryant2","SubmittedDate":"10\/26\/2010 13:34"},{"Comment":"
I made this cake for my family, and they LOVED it! I would make this cake again for sure. I'm not sure why someone would say that it was too dry. They must have over cooked it.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"09\/25\/2010 18:18","GUID":"c8911981cd3149dba261b27797969c25","MemberId":3850172,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Penny McNeill","SubmittedDate":"09\/25\/2010 18:18"},{"Comment":"

This cake was not good and should not have been a prize winner. Not very moist and a waste of ingredients. The icing was gross. I bake all the time and was very disappointed in this recipe. Don't waste your time. Cake is going in the trash.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"03\/04\/2010 12:15","GUID":"57d6f759e219457cbfd6795a27d9f14a","MemberId":4936127,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"CR25000","SubmittedDate":"03\/04\/2010 12:15"},{"Comment":"
It was definately a hit at our Christmas Eve family get-together. I'm sure it will be requested again next Christmas. I didnt have an issue with it being dry, maybe addumler overcooked it?<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"02\/25\/2010 13:05","GUID":"fdc54764771947159a587209175e4b4f","MemberId":4455447,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"mrskellygreen","SubmittedDate":"02\/25\/2010 13:05"},{"Comment":"
I thought this was a pretty good cake. Not good enough to be a prize winner. It's better after a day or two. Not very moist. The icing was very good.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"12\/21\/2009 19:24","GUID":"dc844b0750894b1da3d222238fc26d51","MemberId":1859892,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"addumler","SubmittedDate":"12\/21\/2009 19:24"},{"Comment":"
This is an okay dessert, but it\u2019s nothing special. The cake itself is only fair in quality, with the filling and frosting unable to pull it up above \u201cokay.\u201d I will not make this again.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"12\/19\/2009 19:33","GUID":"D3CE44B7147C460897617E82E3EFFCBE","MemberId":1550099,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"HeatherHH","SubmittedDate":"12\/19\/2009 19:33"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"12\/18\/2009 09:47","GUID":"504ec6a8b1f04c8dbc53f29ee8d6453d","MemberId":4703821,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"carly234","SubmittedDate":"12\/18\/2009 09:47"},{"Comment":"
