Ingredients
25 fun-sized candy bars (Twix, 3 Musketeers, or Kit Kat recommended)
1/2 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1 jar caramel sauce
1 cup pretzels, broken into chunks
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Candy eyeballs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Spray an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the broken candy bar pieces evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the candy layer.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the candy and caramel.
Pour the melted butter over the dry cake mix as evenly as possible.
Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top.
Scatter the broken pretzels across the surface.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the topping is set and the edges are bubbling.
Top with candy eyeballs if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure all dry cake mix is covered by butter to prevent powdery spots. You can experiment with different candy bar combinations based on preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
