1 cup milk
1 instant vanilla pudding
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

Ice between layers, top and sides.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter. If you're using butter, let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture of your cake. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Resist the urge to peek!
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Hershey Bar Cake is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its rich chocolate flavor and gooey caramel filling, this cake is perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips to ensure that your cake turns out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
