  • 1 16-ounce devils food box cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box to prepare cake mix)
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 16-ounce jar caramel sauce, divided
  • 1 8-ounce tub Cool Whip
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup caramel or toffee bits
  • cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup chocolate sauce

Instructions

  • Prepare and bake cake mix according to the package instructions for a 9x13 pan.
  • Allow the cake to cool once it has finished baking.
  • Using a straw or the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes throughout the cake.
  • Pour the condensed milk and ¾ of the caramel sauce over the top of the cake.
  • Spread the Cool Whip topping across the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour or until ready to serve.

Notes

For the best flavor, chill the cake for at least an hour before adding the final toppings. Chilling overnight is even better if you have time.
Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
