Let’s Get Baking!

Step 1: Bake the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
3. Bake as directed on the box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 2: Poke Those Holes!

1. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes after baking.
2. Using a wooden spoon handle or straw, poke holes about 1 inch apart all over the cake.

Step 3: Caramel Bliss

1. In a bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce until smooth.
2. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, letting it soak into the holes.
3. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.

Step 4: Top it Off!

1. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake.
2. Sprinkle generously with crushed Butterfingers.

Step 5: Chill & Enjoy!

1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or even overnight!) to let the flavors blend.
2. Slice and serve this chilled masterpiece!

Tips & Tricks:

• Cake Choice: Chocolate or yellow cake mix both work perfectly!

• Chilling is Key: This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and makes the cake extra moist.

Variations:

• Peanut Butter Power: Drizzle melted peanut butter over the cake before the whipped topping.
• Chocolate Overload: Use chocolate fudge cake mix and add chocolate chips to the batter.
• Candy Bar Swap: Experiment with Snickers, Reese’s, or Heath bars!
• Homemade Whipped Cream: Use homemade for a fresher taste.
