- In a microwave safe bowl add the chopped chocolate and microwave for 30 seconds. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl add the softened butter, salt and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Notes
- We made the cake into cupcakes and used about 3.25 cupcakes to fill our 16 ounce jars.
- You can bake the cake in any pan. You will just cut it into cubes to fill the jars you are using.
- Using a tall glass cup, put your piping bag in it, lay the sides over the glass and add the frosting. This will make it easier to fill the bag.
- You can make the cake in advance up to 2 days before assembling them.
- Store at room temperature for a few days or refrigerate for a week.
