Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz), prepared according to package instructions

  • 14 ounces Eagle Brand Caramel Flavored Sweetened Condensed Milk*

  • 16 ounces store-bought chocolate frosting

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

  • Store-bought caramel syrup, for drizzling


Instructions

  • Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan and bake as directed. Allow the cake to cool completely.

  • Using the handle of a wooden spoon or similar tool, poke holes evenly all over the cooled cake.

  • Pour the caramel-flavored sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.

  • Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top of the caramel layer.

  • Sprinkle chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips evenly over the frosting.

  • Drizzle store-bought caramel syrup over the top for an extra layer of sweetness and decoration.

  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set the layers.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the cake to cool fully before poking and adding caramel.

  • Use fresh pecans for the best crunch and flavor.

  • Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
