How to Make Chocolate Thunder Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Bake a box of your favorite chocolate cake mix according to package directions in the prepared pan.
  3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 25-30 minutes.
  4. Gently poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  5. Pour one (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake. Let it soak in for 5 minutes.
  6. Pour your favorite fudge topping (approximately 1 cup) evenly over the condensed milk. Let it set for 5 minutes.
  7. Spread 8 ounces of Cool Whip evenly over the fudge topping.
  8. Sprinkle generously with crushed candy bars (about 1 cup, your choice!).
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
