Ingredients
– 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on box)
– 1 can sweetened condensed milk
– 1 jar caramel sauce
– 1 tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
– 1 to 2 crushed candy bars (like Butterfingers or Heath)
– Optional: chocolate syrup for drizzling
Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking dish
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer or whisk
– Wooden spoon or spatula
– Fork (for poking holes in the cake)
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. I usually opt for 350°F, which is perfect for baking a luscious chocolate cake. Combine the cake mix with the required eggs, oil, and water in a large mixing bowl. Once everything is well-mixed, pour the batter into the greased 9×13 inch baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake for the time indicated on the box, but do check for doneness a few minutes early. As the smell of chocolate fills my kitchen, I always get excited for what’s to come!
