  • 12 oz. diet root beer
  • 1 (1 oz.) box sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 5 Werther's sugar-free caramel coffee hard candies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Add the cake mix and diet root beer to a large mixing bowl. Mix together using a hand held mixer on medium for 2 minutes. 
  • Add the cake batter to a 9x13 baking pan and bake according to the directions on the box, then let the cake cool. 
  • Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke 40-50 holes in the cake. 
  • Mix together the pudding and skim milk according to the directions on the box, then spread the pudding over the cake. Use a rubber spatula to smooth it out and make sure the pudding gets into the holes. 
  • Cover the cake and refrigerate for two hours.
