Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix or your favorite homemade chocolate cake recipe
- 1 cup of caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 cup of peanut butter creamy or chunky
- 4-5 Snickers bars chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups of whipped topping store-bought or homemade
Instructions
Step 1: Bake the Chocolate Cake
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the batter into the dish. Bake the cake for the time specified on the cake mix box or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 2: Poke Holes in the Cake
- After the cake has cooled slightly, take a fork or the handle of a wooden spoon and poke holes all over the cake. The holes should be evenly spaced, about 1 inch apart, and go all the way down into the cake so that the caramel sauce can soak in.
Step 3: Add the Caramel Sauce
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the cake, ensuring that it fills the holes and spreads across the surface. You may want to use a spatula to help spread the caramel sauce evenly over the entire cake. This will create a gooey layer of caramel throughout the cake.
Step 4: Drizzle with Peanut Butter
- Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Then, drizzle the peanut butter evenly over the caramel sauce layer, ensuring every bite will have that delicious peanut butter flavor.
Step 5: Add Snickers Bars and Whipped Topping
- Sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars generously over the top of the cake. Finally, spread the whipped topping evenly over the entire cake, covering the Snickers bars and caramel. This layer of whipped topping adds a light, fluffy texture that balances the richness of the other ingredients.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
- Place the cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to set, making it easier to slice. When ready to serve, cut the cake into squares and enjoy!
