Better Than Sex Cake

Every once in a while you just need a little comfort food. The great thing about comfort food is it is simply not good for you, but it makes you feel good. One of my favorite comfort foods is a recipe I found when I was about sixteen in a cook book from my Nannies house. She is a great cook and when ever she makes Sunday dinner the smells remind me of my childhood. She will only make this cake on special occasions. I however make one about once a month just to keep in the house during those times when you need a little pick me up. The cakes name is a Better Than Sex Cake and it truly live up to its name.

1 box devil's food cake mix
1 jar caramel topping
1 8oz Cool Whip
5 Heath bars (chopped into small pieces)

Bake cake according to directions on package using a 13x9 pan.
Let cake cool for about 10 minutes.
Make small holes in cake (the round part of a wooden spoon works).
Heat Caramel topping in microwave for 45 seconds.
Pour into holes in cake.
Spread with Cool Whip.
Add candy on top.
Place in refrigerator for 2 hours.

Enjoy and take some comfort!
