This was the best poke cake I had ever made! The cake was chocolate when I poked the holes, I soaked it in caramel and then there were nuts and chocolate frosting over the top. I mean, could it really get any better than this? I do not think so. This is incredibly easy and people are going to LOVE this idea. Kids will adore you for it and honestly, so will the adults. This is my dad’s favorite cake and he asks me to make it for every home party we have! So I searched Pinterest and found an absolutely amazing recipe that is full of everything I love in poke cake form. I knew I had to give it a try immediately and I did.
Ohhh, yes the candy bar topping is the best part!
