Ingredients for Snickers Cake

  • chocolate cake mix, prepared in a 9x13 pan
  • caramel sauce
  • peanuts, crushed
  • chocolate frosting
  • Snickers candy bars, chopped

How to Make Snickers Cake

Step 1: Make the cake mix and allow the cake to cool completely, then use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cooled cake. The holes should be about 1-2" apart.

Step 2: Fill each hole halfway full with caramel sauce, then top the caramel sauce with chopped peanuts. Set aside the remaining peanuts to sprinkle on the top of the cake.

Step 3: Carefully spread the chocolate frosting over the top of the cake.

Step 4: Decorate the cake with chopped Snickers candy bars and peanuts.

Tips for Make Snickers Cake

  • Make sure to let the cake cool at least 15 minutes before poking holes in it.
  • When poking holes in the cake, you can use the back of a wooden spoon or if you don't have that, try using chopsticks. Make sure the holes go about ½ to ¾ of the way through the cake, so the filling can really seep in, but the cake still stays together.
  • Be sure to space the holes evenly as well as fill the holes evenly.

Leftovers

After enjoying a delicious slice or two of Snickers poke cake, it's important to store any leftovers correctly to maintain both texture and flavor.

You can store this poke cake at room temperature for about 4-5 days. Make sure to cover tightly with saran wrap or transfer to an airtight container.

Alternatives

  • It's easy to change this cake up to a different type of candy bar. Try using Heath bars, Almond Joys or whatever your favorite type of candy is.
  • You can also sub out the chocolate frosting for white, buttercream, or try something different like a peanut butter frosting or salted caramel buttercream.
  • Change the cake flavor to white or yellow if you want.
  • Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top if you want a little extra crunchiness.

Favorite Toppings and Sides

This cake doesn't need anything additional to make it delicious, but there are a few things we like to top on our cake or add to the side.

We love pairing cake with ice cream, and this Chocolate Snickers Poke cake is no exception. Here are a few of our favorite toppings and sides for this chocolate cake:
