So when I saw the Pillsbury caramel apple frosting on a recent trip to the store, I thought, “this could either be epic, or completely gross.” And in case anyone is wondering, it tastes just like a caramel apple pop, so if you like those you’re golden, if not, what’s wrong with you?!
For this Milky Way Caramel Apple Cake I started out with a basic yellow cake mix and threw in some chopped Milky Way bars. Between the two layers of cake, I used about 1/3 can of chocolate frosting, then chopped Milky Way bars, the some homemade caramel on top of that (recipe for the caramel the same as in {this} recipe). Usually I make my own frosting, but sometimes I love using store-bought because you can melt it in the microwave and then just pour it for a super smooth and drippy finish.
That’s the technical, professional term. Drippy.

Once the cake was stacked, I melted down the caramel apple frosting (I used about half a can) and then some more chocolate on top of that.
So good, but so sweet and rich, make sure you’ve got a tall glass of milk!
