Grease and flour a 9-inch fluted tube cake pan (such as Bundt®). Combine cake mix and pudding mix in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Add sour cream, vegetable oil, and water; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Drizzle frosting over cake and sprinkle candy-coated milk chocolate pieces on top. Cook's Note: The original recipe called for 1/2 cup sugar, but I felt it was not necessary.
