I just found this again after a very long time & can promise you it tastes nothing less than a piece of heaven melting in your mouth. I had requested this a long time ago after finding nothing on the internet for this cake, until a lovely Heather pointed me in the right direction. Going to try it again next weekend, can't wait. It also tastes great in thin layers with the the whipped cream layered in between.

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 275 degrees.

Spread with plain whipped cream.
Garnish top with candy triangles, then sprinkle chopped candy to fill in spaces.
Drizzle some of the caramel on top & down the sides.
