Substitutions and Additions
CAKE MIX: Try making this with a different type of chocolate cake mix such as German chocolate cake instead of devil’s food cake mix. Or, when you mix the cake, only use two eggs and add a half-cup of whiskey.

TOPPINGS: There are lots of sweet nothings that can be added to the top of the cake: chocolate chips, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Skor bars, Butterfingers, Snickers, Oreos, heath toffee bits.
WHIPPED CREAM: You can either use a whipped topping such as Cool Whip or make your own homemade fresh whipped cream using our recipe found here.

STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13 dish by spraying with nonstick spray.
STEP TWO: Make the cake according to the package directions for a 9×13 cake.
STEP THREE: When the cake is done baking use the round handle end of a wooden spoon and poke holes all throughout the cake.
PRO TIP: It’s best to make the holes in the cake while it is still slightly warm because as it cools, the crust on top of the cake will crumble more easily.
STEP FOUR: Pour the sweetened condensed milk all over the top of the cake and spread it out.
PRO TIP: When you’re pouring the cream into the holes, tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles and make sure the cream fills the holes completely.
STEP FIVE: Then pour the caramel sauce over the top of the cake and spread it out.
STEP SIX: Refrigerate the cake for at least two hours.
STEP SEVEN: Spread the Cool Whip on top of the cooled cake and sprinkle with chopped Heath bars.
