Ingredients

Scale

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 cup (approx. 240 ml) sour cream

1 jar caramel ice cream topping (size not specified)

4 regular-sized peanut butter crisp candy bars

8 ounces (approx. 227 grams or 2 β…” cups) whipped topping

Instructions

1-Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions, adding the 1 cup of sour cream to the batter for extra moisture.

2-Bake the cake in a 9Γ—13 inch pan as directed on the cake mix box, keeping an eye on the time for the best results.

3-While the cake is still warm, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over its surface to let flavors soak in.

5-Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the layers properly.

6-Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake for a smooth finish.

7-Crush the peanut butter crisp candy bars and sprinkle the pieces over the whipped topping to add that signature crunch.
