Water, vegetable oil and eggs as called for on cake mix box
4
cups milk

2
cans (15 oz each) mandarin orange segments, drained

Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan.
Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix milk and orange peel. With whisk, beat pudding mix into milk mixture about 2 minutes or until blended.
Cut or tear cooled cake into 1-inch pieces. Arrange half of pieces in 3 1/2-quart glass serving bowl, cutting pieces to fit shape of bowl. Drizzle 1/2 cup of the chocolate syrup over cake; spread with 2 cups of the pudding. Reserve 1/2 cup orange segments for garnish; arrange remaining orange segments over pudding. Add remaining cake pieces. Top with remaining chocolate syrup, remaining pudding and the whipped topping. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled.
Garnish dessert with reserved orange segments. Store covered in refrigerator up to 8 hours.
