Ingredients

• 1 package of devil’s food or German chocolate cake mix
• 1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 jar of caramel topping
• 1 8oz tub of Cool Whip
• 4-5 Snickers bars (or substitute with Skor, Heathbar, or mini Reeses)

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 9×13 inch baking pan
• Wooden spoon
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mixing bowl
• Electric mixer or whisk
• Spatula

Preparation

1. Bake the Cake: Start by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix package. Grease your 9×13 inch pan lightly. Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions and pour it into the pan. Bake as directed until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2. Poke Holes: Once the cake is out of the oven and has cooled for about 5 minutes, take the handle of a wooden spoon and gently poke holes all over the cake. The holes will allow the sweetened condensed milk and caramel to seep into the cake, creating pockets of gooey sweetness.
3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Caramel: Allow the cake to cool for approximately 30 minutes until it’s just warm. Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Follow this with a generous drizzle of caramel topping.
4. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool completely. You can expedite this process by refrigerating the cake; just ensure it’s covered well to retain moisture.
5. Final Touches: Once the cake is cool, spread a thick layer of Cool Whip over the top. Chop the Snickers bars (or your chosen candy) into small pieces and sprinkle them generously over the cake. Finish off by drizzling more caramel topping for an extra layer of decadence.

Notes and Tips

• For a lighter version, you can opt for low-fat Cool Whip and reduced-fat condensed milk.
• If you prefer a crunchier texture, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts along with the candy.
• Letting the cake absorb the milk and caramel overnight in the fridge can enhance the flavors.

How to Store Leftovers

• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

Food Pairing

Enjoy this cake with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. The bitterness of the coffee or the smoothness of the milk complements the sweetness of the cake beautifully.
