Salted Whiskey Caramel Poke Cake

3/19/2017

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

1. Bake cake according to box directions in either a 9x9 or 9x13 baker.

2. With 5 minutes left of bake time-- unwrap entire box of caramels and place in a microwave safe bowl. Add 1 tbsp milk. Microwave in 30 second intervals stirring between until caramels are 95% melted. Continue to stir until completely melted.
