How to Make Snickers Poke Cake
- Prepare the Cake: Follow the directions on the box to prepare and bake the devil’s food cake mix according to package instructions.

- Top with Caramel: While the cake is still warm, pour the caramel sauce over the top of it. Spread the caramel in an even layer, ensuring it seeps into the holes you’ve made. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Finish the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, spread the thawed whipped topping over the caramel layer, covering it completely. Scatter the chopped Snickers bars over the whipped topping.
- Drizzle: Finally, drizzle chocolate and caramel syrup over the top of the cake to add extra sweetness and visual appeal.
- Serve: Slice and serve the cake, enjoying the delicious combination of chocolate, caramel, and Snickers candy bars!
