Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix and milk, whisking until smooth.
Use cold milk for a smoother pudding consistency.
Add the chocolate cake mix to the pudding mixture and stir until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the batter.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
Coat the chocolate chips in a bit of flour to prevent them from sinking.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth out the batter for an even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the bars a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overbaking.
Allow the bars to cool completely on a cooling rack.
Cooling ensures the bars set properly and are easier to cut.
Dust the top with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Use a fine sieve for an even dusting of sugar.
