Heath Bar Poke Cake

This is Uncle Bee’s all time favorite dessert!  This cake has as many variations as it does names, but this is how I make it every time!   The thing I love about this cake, is it is best to make it a day or 2 in advance… it really just gets better every day!  It’s also impossible to mess up.  If the whipped cream smudges when you wrap it up, just top it with a few more heath bar bits.  Problem solved!  🙂
