EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To toast pecans, heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.

For a gooey caramel pumpkin cake, try hot caramel topping instead of hot fudge.

First of all, to cut down a little on the sugar, I used the sugar-free cake mix. I also used sugar free carmel topping; hot fudge sauce is relativley low in sugar. Other than that, oh well, it's a holiday once a year cake. My family enjoyed this so much, the entire cake was gobbled up in two days!!

Should of read reviews 1st...this recipe is just too rich for our taste...not sure if cutting the hot fudge down to 1 jar would of made a difference...it was a very wet soggy cake...did not like it...won't make again! Sorry Betty Crocker ...:(

Wish I would have read the reviews first. Definetly use only about 12 oz of hot fudge and maybe use sugar free hot fudge. This dessert is super rich. I will make it again, but use sugar free ingredients. Cool whip is a good idea instead of frosting.i dont understand what the sweetened condensed milk is for, i dont think it is needed though
