Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Notes
- Ensure the whipped topping is thawed but not liquidy for best layering.
- Using salted butter adds a nice balance to the sweet flavors; unsalted can be used but consider adding a pinch of salt.
- For extra decadence, top with vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce just before serving.
- Make sure to bake until golden and bubbly to fully cook the cake mix topping.
- This dessert is best served warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
