Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz caramel sauce
  • 1 8-ounce tub Cool Whip whipped topping thawed, or any whipped topping
  • 2 Heath bars chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 ℉
  • Grease or spray a 9 X 13 pan with cooking spray
  • Add the cake mix, eggs, water, oil (or butter) to a large mixing bowl, and beat with hand mixer until well combined
  • Pour batter into prepared baking dish, and bake for 28 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean and top springs back lightly when touched 
  • Remove cake from oven, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. It should still be rather hot
  • Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a wide drinking straw to poke holes evenly in the hot cake, taking care not to poke through the bottom of the cake
  • Stir the can of milk, then pour evenly on top of the cake and into the holes
  • Pour some of the caramel sauce over the cake and into the holes
  • Place cake in refrigerator, and refrigerate until completely cooled, about 2 hours
  • Top with Cool Whip, a drizzle of caramel sauce and the chopped Heath bars before serving

Notes

I use about half of a 16-oz bottle of caramel for this recipe.
Store the poke cake in the refrigerator, and use within 4 days for best flavor.
You can make the cake a day ahead of time.
