Step 1:
Follow the cake mix baking instructions on the boxed: The only difference will be to add the instant pudding to the cake mix before adding any of the liquid ingredients. The pudding flavor is not important. If baking the yellow cake, French vanilla or regular vanilla flavored instant pudding is a nice compliment. For those with more adventurous taste buds, try adding instant butterscotch pudding. For a richer chocolate cake add instant chocolate pudding.
Step 2:
Add all the liquid ingredients and mix in accordance with the instructions on the cake box. When the cake consistency is no longer powdery, add the cup of sour cream. Continue to mix or beat as instructed. Do not be alarmed if the batter looks like it's growing. The batter will be much fluffier than straight forward cake mix.
Step 3:
This step is for chocolate chip lovers only: Sprinkle in the half-cup of chocolate chips. Using a spoon, mix the chocolate chips into the batter.
Step 4:
After pouring the fluffy batter into the cake pan, unwrap several chocolate kisses and place them cone side down into the batter. Don't force them all the way through the batter; just place them so the bottom of the chocolate kiss is even with the surface of the cake batter.
Step 5:
The hard work is all done. Now bake the cake in accordance with the instructions on the cake box. And you will see your friends and guest do the "WOW" factor...
