1 can (14 oz) condensed milk with sugar

1 cup caramel topping, with extra for drizzling

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
04 -
1 cup melted chocolate bits or chocolate sauce
05 -
1 container (8 oz) whipped cream, defrosted
# How to Make It:
01 -
Whip up your favorite chocolate cake in a regular 9x13-inch dish according to box directions, if using a premade mix, and bake until you can stick a toothpick in the middle and pull it out clean.
02 -
With the cake still hot, grab a wooden spoon and make holes all over the top by pushing the handle down into the cake.
03 -
Pour condensed milk slowly onto the warm cake, making sure it flows into all the holes. Then drizzle 1 cup of caramel sauce all over.
04 -
Let the cake sit until totally cool, or pop it in the fridge to speed things up.
05 -
Spread the whipped cream in an even layer on top of the cake. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and chocolate bits over it, or add swirls of chocolate sauce and extra caramel if you want.
06 -
Slice it up and enjoy either cold from the fridge or at room temp.
