Expert Tips

• It’s very sweet. This isn’t a diet friendly cake! So, keep that in mind before you eat a piece. It’s very rich and sweet, so you can certainly cut back on the sugar if desired. You could use sugar free cake, sugar free caramel and sugar free chocolate to keep it more diet friendly.
  
• Don’t over bake. If you bake the cake too long it’s going to dry out. Check it and when a toothpick can be inserted and comes out clean it’s done.
  
• Swap the candy bars. You can easily swap the Snickers for Heath, M&M’s, Butterfingers, or any other candy bar you like. Go wild!
