directions
- Grease 2 (9") round cake pans, and dust with cocoa.
- Beat cake mix and next 7 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer 1 minute; then beat at medium speed 2 minutes.
- Fold in chopped milk chocolate bars.
- Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 32 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Cool cake in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks. Wrap and chill cake layers at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Using a serrated knife or unflavored dental floss, slice cake layers in half horizontally to make 4 layers.
- Place 1 layer, cut side down, on a cake plate. Spread with 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting; sprinkle with one-fourth of chopped cheesecake bites.
- Repeat procedure with remaining 3 layers.
- Note: gently press down the middle of each layer a little bit while stacking, so the cake doesn't have too much of a dome at the end.
- Frost sides and top of cake with remaining frosting.
- Heat the caramel sauce so it pours easily, and drizzle the desired amount of caramel sauce over cake, letting it drip down sides.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- Decorate cake with rolled wafer cookies.
- Store in refrigerator.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
