Heavenly Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cake:

1 package devil’s food chocolate or German chocolate cake mix – Rich chocolate flavor and base for all the yummy layers.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk – Makes the cake moist and gives it a dreamy sweetness.
1 jar caramel topping – Adds caramel richness to every bite.
1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip – For a creamy, light topping.
4-5 Snickers bars (or your choice of Skor, Heath bars, or mini Reese’s) – Chopped for crunchy, chocolatey goodness on top.

Directions to Dessert Paradise 😋

Step 1: Bake the Cake

Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Use a 9×13-inch baking pan for the perfect fit.
Bake the cake, then allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. This gives it just enough time to settle before adding the gooey toppings.

Step 2: Poke Holes for Extra Deliciousness

With the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, creating little pockets to soak up the goodness.

Step 3: Pour in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Caramel

Let the cake cool for about 30 minutes until it’s warm but not hot.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk slowly over the cake, letting it soak into the holes for maximum flavor.
Drizzle caramel topping over the cake, covering as much surface as possible for that caramel-y goodness.

Step 4: Cool the Cake Completely

Allow the cake to cool fully. For faster cooling, cover and pop it in the fridge. Chilling it helps the layers set perfectly for that irresistible slice!

Step 5: Top with Cool Whip and Candy

Once the cake is fully cooled, spread Cool Whip evenly over the top. The creamy layer adds a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate.
Sprinkle the chopped Snickers (or your favorite candy) over the Cool Whip for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
Finish with a final drizzle of caramel on top for added decadence!

Tips for the Perfect Slice of Heaven Cake

Use a Wooden Spoon for Poking: The round handle makes perfect-sized holes for soaking in the sweetened milk and caramel.
Chill Before Slicing: Letting the cake chill in the fridge helps it hold together better when slicing.
Customize Your Topping: You can switch up the candy based on what you love try Heath bars for a toffee crunch or mini Reese’s for a peanut butter twist.

Fun Variations to Try

Chocolate Lover’s Twist: Add a drizzle of melted chocolate on top along with the caramel for an extra chocolatey experience.
Nutty Delight: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the Cool Whip layer for added texture.
Double Caramel: For serious caramel fans, add a layer of caramel sauce between the cake and the Cool Whip.

Serving and Storing Your Slice of Heaven Cake

Serving Suggestions

This cake is heavenly on its own but goes perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Serve it chilled for a firmer texture or slightly warm for a gooey, melty treat.

Storing Leftovers

In the Refrigerator: Cover and keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. The Cool Whip keeps the cake soft, so each slice stays just as delicious!
Freezing: For longer storage, slice and wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Just thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
