Lisa’s Butterfinger Caramel Cake Recipe

June 26, 2018 by Lisa Pinney

I made this dessert for my favorite group of educators and staff last month…

One of my favorite reviews was “Indescribably Crazy Good!”

I may have to change the name!

Bake the cake, cool and poke the holes…

Mix together the caramel and

the sweetened condensed milk…

Pour over the cake…

It will soak in like so…

Combine the pudding mix and milk…

add the cool whip and Cheesecake Dip;

Mix until light and fluffy like this!

Spread on cake…

Top with the Butterfinger Pieces…

Refrigerate a bit..

overnight is best to allow

the flavors to develop into the

the Indescribably Crazy Goodness!

Enjoy!
