I don't dislike eating cake, mind you, but given the choice I would much rather have pie. Cherry, please. Serve it up with some homemade vanilla ice cream and I promise to be your slave. But my boys (I count the photographer here, tee hee) prefer cake to pie. And when one sweetly requests (okay, begs) that I make a cake, how can I refuse?
The proper title of this cake is "Heath Bar Cake". However, my guys don't really care for Heath bars (this I cannot fathom!) so I left them out.
This is so simple that I don't really consider it to be "cooking". Prepare a boxed german chocolate cake mix as directed and bake in a 13x9 pan. When cake tests done, remove it from the oven and immediately use a wooden toothpick or skewer to poke holes all over the cake. Pour one jar of caramel ice cream topping all over the cake and then pour one can of sweetened condensed milk all over the cake. (Both of these will be absorbed into the holes you just poked).
Refrigerate until well chilled. "Frost" with cool whip and garnish with a few chopped up Heath bars. I skipped the Heath bars and grated some bittersweet chocolate on top instead.
A very simple, gooey, sweet that delights my boys (and their friends).

Oh, my goodness! That sounds like something my co-workers would very much enjoy. (filing that one away!)
Yes, my guys absolutely beg for me to make this. Pierce says it is one of his top three favorite cakes. Please let me know how your co-workers like it.
