Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box: eggs, oil, water)

Toppings and Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (thawed)
  • 4 full-size Butterfinger candy bars (crushed)
  • Optional: chocolate syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, incorporating the required eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  2. Poke Holes in Warm Cake: While the cake is still warm, take the handle of a wooden spoon and gently poke holes all over the surface of the cake. This will allow the sweetened condensed milk to soak in deeply.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Caramel: Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Then drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the cake. Let the cake cool completely.
  4. Spread Whipped Topping & Add Crunch: Once the cake has cooled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars generously on top for a crunchy finish.
  5. Optional Finishing Touch: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top if desired for extra chocolatey flavor.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and to firm up the whipped topping before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Best made ahead so the flavors can soak in thoroughly.
  • You can substitute with a homemade chocolate cake if preferred.
  • Reserve some crushed Butterfinger pieces to sprinkle right before serving for extra crunch.
