Butterfinger Poke Cake is a rich chocolate dessert made with boxed cake mix, soaked in a creamy caramel-peanut butter mixture, then topped with whipped cream and crushed Butterfinger candy for a crunchy, sweet finish.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15 oz)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 810 Butterfinger bars, chopped (reserve some for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare cake mix.
  2. Bake chocolate cake in a 9×13 pan for 25–30 minutes, then cool completely.
  3. Poke holes across the cake using a skewer or spoon handle.
  4. Mix condensed milk, caramel, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and chopped Butterfinger pieces.
  5. Pour mixture over cake, letting it soak into holes.

Notes

  • Use a spoon handle for deeper holes and better filling absorption.
  • Extra candy topping adds more crunch and flavor.
