Equipment

  • 9x13 Cake Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Hand Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 12.25 ounces caramel flavored topping
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 4 Heath or Skor candy bars chopped

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping. Slowly pour caramel mixture over the cake, letting it sink into the holes.

  • Let cake cool completely (I usually cover it and put it in the fridge until I'm ready to serve it). Top cooled cake with whipped topping.

Notes

  • Poke the holes about halfway into the cake, not all the way through.
  • Pour the caramel mixture slowly so it has time to soak in.
  • Chill the cake before adding the whipped topping.
  • Add the chopped candy bars close to serving time so they stay crunchy.
  • Cool Whip works well, but homemade whipped cream can also be used.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2 to 3 days for the best texture.
