Salted Whiskey Caramel Poke Cake

On a whim this evening I decided it was time to experiment baking with our signature Salted Whiskey Caramels.  With the perfect deposits of caramel this cake isn't too sweet...and the coarse sea salt on top adds a nice balance.  We just might have to experiment with brownies next...you can't go wrong with chocolate and caramel!  

​Enjoy! -Melissa
