Pumpkin Poke Cake

I love pumpkin season!  Let the recipes begin!

Cake:

1 box yellow cake mix
1 small can of pumpkin puree
1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk


Frosting:
1 8 oz. tub of cool whip
1/2 bag of Heath Toffee Bits
Caramel Sundae Sauce, for drizzling (I think I used a third of a small jar)

Instructions:
Combine the cake mix and pumpkin puree until well blended.  Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish.  Bake at 350 according to the directions on the cake mix box.  I baked mine for about 25 minutes.
Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes.  Then using a wooden spoon end, poke holes all over the top of the cake about an inch apart.  Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, filling in the holes.  Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes.  
Spread the cool whip over the top of the cake.  Drizzle the caramel over the top and sprinkle on the heath bits.  Refrigerate the cake for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight for best results.

    1. No addition seasonings for this version. You could probably make it with a box of spice cake if you wanted to.
