Butterfinger Cake

In case you haven’t noticed a theme, I’m a big fan of Paula Deen’s food and recipes. You can say what you want about her southern accent and all the Ya’lls, but her food is simply delicious. Her magazine is a favorite of mine and I have found so many good recipes from it, this cake is one of them. I love Butterfingers and caramel, so when I saw them both as ingredients for this cake I was sold. I try my best not to use store bought cake mixes, but sometimes they are a super convenient solution and mixing Butterfinger in the batter sounded too good not to try!

Sprinkle remaining 1 chopped Butterfinger over caramel. Cover, and chill.

Before serving, spread whipped topping evenly over cake. Garnish with chopped Butterfinger, if desired. Cut into squares to serve.
