Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 4–5 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
Instructions
- Bake the cake: Prepare the chocolate cake according to the package directions in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Once baked, allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Poke the cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake. Make sure the holes are large enough to allow the filling to seep into the cake.
- Add caramel and condensed milk: In a small bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce together. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
- Top with whipped topping: Once the cake has cooled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the surface of the cake.
- Add crushed Butterfinger: Crush the Butterfinger candy bars and sprinkle them generously over the whipped topping.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
Notes
- For best results, let the cake sit overnight in the fridge to enhance the flavors.
- You can substitute the Butterfinger bars with other candy bars like Reese’s or Snickers for a different flavor twist.
