Better Than Everything Cake

So here's the thing about the lions.

I made this cake on Monday night for dessert.  There was some leftover.  The next day was our Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquet and each cub scout had to bring a dessert having to do with one of their favorite scripture stories.

Well, since we already had cake and I didn't really have time to make another one, we used the leftover cake to make a lion's den.  You know, Daniel and the lion's den.

When I sat down to post this recipe, I realized that this is the only picture that I took of the cake.  So there you have it.

The moral of this story is...this cake is heavenly and you should make it.

1 chocolate cake mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 pint whipping cream
Heath Bar pieces

*Make chocolate cake in a 9x13 according to package directions.  Let cool for a few minutes, but not completely.  Poke holes all over the cake using a fork or knife.  Make sure holes go all the way to the bottom of the pan.  Pour sweetened condensed milk over the cake.  Let it soak in for a few minutes.  Pour caramel topping over the cake.  Let it soak in for a few minutes.  Whip up your whipping cream until stiff, adding a little sugar and vanilla to taste.  Spread over cake and sprinkle Heath Bar pieces on top.

You could also use Cool Whip, but you know how I feel about Cool Whip.

The salted caramel sauce from Trader Joe's is way better than Smucker's.
