Ingredients
▢1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
▢Ingredients on the box to prepare cake (eggs, oil, water)
▢1 jar caramel topping (12 ounces)
▢1 can sweetened condensed milk (12 ounces)
▢5 regular-sized Butterfinger Bars chopped
▢1 container whipped topping (12 ounces) thawed
▢Chocolate syrup for garnish/decorating
Instructions
Prepare cake mix and preparation ingredients in a large mixing bowl according to package instructions. Bake in a 9″x13″ baking dish, according to package instructions.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, mix together caramel topping and sweetened condensed milk until combined.
While cake is still warm, poke holes in it with the back of a wooden spoon or with a fork. Pour caramel mixture over cake slowly, allowing it to absorb.
Allow cake to cool completely.
When cake is cooled, in a large mixing bowl, add the whipped topping. Fold in half of the chopped Butterfingers. Spread on cooled cake.
Top cake with remaining Butterfingers and a chocolate syrup drizzle.
Notes
You can use whatever cake mix you’d like! Any brand, any flavor. Pick your favorite, and follow the directions.
Remember to thaw your whipped topping ahead of time! Otherwise, it will not fully infuse into the poke cake, and it just won’t work out as deliciously.
Be sure to drizzle your caramel mixture while the cake is still warm, because it absorbs best this way.
Substitute your favorite candies! This is a great recipe to use up any lingering Halloween candy. M&M’s, Snicker’s, KitKat, Twix,… Chop up all your favorites and toss them in!
