Instructions

- Let the cake cool completely.
- Using a skewer, or the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes all around the top of the cake, making sure to go halfway/ all the way down.

- Pour the mixture all over top of the cake and making sure to spread into the holes as well and all over. Cover the cake and place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Once it has chilled, whip the cream using a hand mixer until stiff peaks have formed, then spread it all over top of the cake evenly. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of butter fingers all over top of the whipped cream.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Be careful when you chop the Butterfinger bars.
- You could use the end of a butter knife to poke holes in the cake as well.
- Make sure the holes in the cake are evenly distributed throughout the top of the cake and go at least halfway through the cake so the filling has a chance to seep in.
- Make it a little fancier by topping it with shaved chocolate.
