Marsha's Better Than Anything Cake

So, back in the day when I still worked in Morgan Hill, my co-worker Marsha brought in this scrumptious cake to share with everyone.  Of course, we all asked for the recipe, which she shared, and I wanted to share with you all here.  Very easy to do!

1. 1 box of chocolate cake mix (you can use German Chocolate if you want)
2. 1 small package of chocolate chips
3. 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
4. 1 jar of caramal ice cream topping (like smuckers)  
5. Cool whip or whipped cream to top the cake
6. Crushed Heath bars for the top.

Mix the cake according to package directions,  bake 10 minutes, and then sprinkle as much of the chocolate chips as you want over the cake.

Put cake back in the oven for the remainder of the cooking time.

When it comes out, poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or something else and pour the sweetened condensed milk over the whole cake.  Let cool.

After it is cool, warm up the caramel a little so it runs liquid smooth without being burned and pour it over the whole cake.   Put in refrigerator to cool (overnight is best).

Put whipped topping on top and add crushed heath bars.  Serve.

Now I don't know about you, but I'm hungry, and just typing this up made me crave some!  I'd love to see your photos of how yours comes out, or even better, variations on it to make it better and different!

News and Updates

It has been forever and a day since I posted on this blog, and it's time I got back to it.  With the death of my grandmother, I received a couple index boxes full of recipes.  My plan is go through them and anything not of "secret recipe" status, I hope to share here.  In addition, I plan to be posting here and in collaboration with another recipe blog started by my friend, Marsha Nelson.  Her link is to the right under the "To the Courtyard!" section called "Celebrating the Home Cook".  I hope you take the time to follow us both and make contributions!
So here's to some good eats to come :).  Stay tuned.
