To make this chocolate poke cake, I started by dumping a box of chocolate cake mix into a large mixing bowl.
I added some water, melted butter and eggs to the bowl with the cake mix.
I stirred all of the ingredients together until fully combined.
I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish well with cooking spray.
I poured the cake batter into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
I baked the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center came up clean.
I removed the cake from the oven and set it aside to cool.
Once the cake had cooled, I used the handle of a wooden spoon to poke rows of holes in the cake.
I poured some caramel sauce over the cake making sure it went into the holes.
I poured some heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract into a large bowl.
I used an electric mixer to whip the the ingredients together until stiff peaks formed.
I gently spread the whipped cream on top of the cake, covering it completely.
I drizzled caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
I sprinkled some crumbled Heath bar over the cake.
I also sprinkled some milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips on top of the cake.
Then the chocolate caramel poke cake was ready to slice and serve.
