One-Bowl Chocolate Cake Batter (see related recipe below)
8 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Top with more candy.
