Butterfinger Poke Cake

My dad told me one time that he thought that a Butterfinger was the best candy bar ever made. IT Guy loves him a Butterfinger every now and then. I enjoy me a tiny bit when IT Guy will share. So the logical thing to do was to make a cake involving Butterfingers, right? Right. So here it is in all it's glory. A crazy delicious cake that's so rich you only need a little piece to satisfy your sweet tooth. This would be great to take a potluck since you can cut it into small pieces. Give this a try and tell me what you think!

Butterfinger Poke Cake



1 butter flavor cake mix (plus ingredients to make it)
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 8-ounce container Cool Whip
3  3.7-ounce Butterfinger candy bars ~ divided use

Prepare cake mix according to box directions.

Crush the candy bars. Mix half of the crushed candy bars into the batter. 

Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan.

Bake according to box directions.

In a medium bowl, stir the sweetened condensed milk and the caramel topping together.

While cake is still warm, poke holes all over the cake with a fork.

Pour caramel mixture all over the cake, making sure it gets in all the holes.

Place cake in fridge and allow to chill for a few hours.

Spread Cool Whip over the top of the cake.

Sprinkle remaining crushed candy on top.
