For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the chocolate cake mix before baking. If you want a less sweet cake, use a reduced-sugar chocolate cake mix or make your own from scratch, adjusting the sugar content to your preference. Feel free to substitute the chocolate-covered crispy peanut butter candy bars with other toppings such as chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or sprinkles.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
1 hrs 5 mins
Prepare and bake the chocolate cake according to the package directions, using a 9x13 inch pan. (Baking time varies, approximately 25-35 minutes). Let it cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
02
Step
5 mins
Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, gently poke 12 evenly spaced holes into the warm cake. This will allow the butterscotch to seep in and create pockets of flavor.
03
Step
1 hrs
Pour the entire jar of butterscotch topping evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes you've created. Let the cake cool completely, allowing the butterscotch to soak in. (Approximately 1 hour)
04
Step
5 mins
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the butterscotch layer.
05
Step
2 mins
Chop the chocolate-covered crispy peanut butter candy bars into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle generously over the whipped topping.
06
Step
2 hrs
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to become perfectly chilled.
