Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar hot fudge sauce
- 1 container whipped topping
- 1 cup crushed Heath bars
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves combining the cake mix with water, eggs, and oil. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. While the cake is cooling, prepare the poke filling.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the top of the warm cake, making sure to create holes that go deep into the cake but not all the way through the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and half of the jar of hot fudge sauce. Stir until well blended.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk mixture evenly over the top of the poked cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Make sure to cover the entire surface.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to absorb the filling.
- After the cake has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Drizzle the remaining hot fudge sauce over the whipped topping, creating a beautiful pattern.
- Sprinkle the crushed Heath bars generously over the top of the cake for added crunch and flavor.
- For best results, refrigerate the cake for an additional 30 minutes before serving to allow it to set. Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
- Enjoy your delicious Better Than Sex Chocolate Poke Cake with friends and family!
Tips
- Make sure your cake is still warm when you poke the holes - this helps the filling penetrate deeper into the cake.
- Use a wooden spoon handle or the back of a thin wooden spoon to create perfect, even holes throughout the cake.
- For extra indulgence, slightly warm the hot fudge sauce before drizzling to make it more fluid.
- Crush the Heath bars just before sprinkling to maintain their crisp texture.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- For a more intense chocolate experience, you can use dark chocolate cake mix instead of regular chocolate.
- Always use fresh whipped topping for the best taste and texture.
- Store the cake in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
