Better Than Sex Cake

(This recipe was one of my Granny’s favorites. It’s easy, even for the baking challenged, VERY forgiving, even for the baking challenged, and looks and tastes like a gourmet-took-you-hours masterpiece!)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 chocolate box cake mix and ingredients to prepare according to package directions. (I like German chocolate).
• 1 cup chocolate morsels.
• 2 tbsp. corn syrup.
• 2 tbsp. margarine (not butter).
• 1 cup caramel ice cream topping (or butterscotch).
• 2 tbsp milk.
• 1 medium container cool whip.
• 4 Heath bars, or Skor bars, or Butterfinger bars.
  (or other candy bars that may be crumbled — Heath are my favorite).

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Allow to cool.
2. Poke holes in cake at intervals, about 20 holes.
   (End of a wooden spoon works well.)
3. Mix ice cream topping and milk and spoon into holes in cake.
4. Place choc. morsels, corn syrup, and marg. into microwavable bowl and microwave 1 minute.
5. Stir quickly until spreadable and spread across top of cake.
   (If this spreads unevenly, has glumps, or tears the top of the cake DON’T WORRY, NO ONE WILL KNOW!)
6. Place cake in ‘fridge until cool.
7. Spread top of cake with cool whip.
8. Crumble candy bars across top of cake.
   (Keeping them in the freezer until used makes this easier.)
9. Keep cake chilled until served!
   (And afterward if any is left!)
10. Accept all compliments to your cooking genius with a mysterious self-deprecatory shrug.
