Love making this as the entire family can never get enough! Love to see their faces after!

Ingredients:

– 1 box of chocolate cake mix (and the required ingredients listed on the box, typically water, vegetable oil, and eggs)
– 1 cup of caramel sauce, plus a bit extra for drizzling
– 1 cup of chopped pecans
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– Cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

Directions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.

2. Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions and pour it into the prepared baking dish.

3. Bake the cake as directed, generally about 28-33 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Let the cake cool for just a couple of minutes. Then, with the handle of a wooden spoon, lovingly poke holes all over the cake, making sure they’re big enough for the caramel to sneak into.

5. Warm your caramel sauce just a tad to make it pourable, and mix it with the sweetened condensed milk. Now, pour this sweet concoction over the warm cake, gently guiding it into the holes.

6. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top, adding a little texture and nutty flavor.

7. Allow the cake to cool completely, preferably in the fridge for an hour or so, to let all those flavors mingle and settle.

8. Just before serving, feel free to drizzle a little extra caramel on top and maybe dust some cocoa powder for a pretty finish.
