Ingredients
Scale
Main Cake Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- Eggs (amount as per box instructions)
- Vegetable oil (amount as per box instructions)
- Water (amount as per box instructions)
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounces / 340 grams) jar caramel sauce
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces / 227 grams) container whipped topping
- 4–5 Heath bars, crushed
- 1 cup Heath toffee bits

Instructions
- Prepare chocolate cake mix according to package directions and bake in a 9×13-inch pan at recommended temperature.
- After removing cake from oven, create multiple perforations across the surface using a fork or wooden spoon handle, ensuring deep and evenly distributed holes.
- Gradually pour sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce over the warm cake, allowing liquid to penetrate deeply into the perforated areas.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for approximately 2 hours, enabling flavors to meld and cake to absorb moisture completely.
- Carefully spread a smooth, even layer of whipped topping across the entire cake surface, covering all previous layers.
- Crush Heath bars into small, delicate fragments and distribute generously over the whipped topping.
- Optional: Enhance visual appeal by drizzling chocolate syrup in an artful pattern across the cake’s surface before serving chilled.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality chocolate cake mix for richer flavor and better texture.
- Create deeper holes using the handle of a wooden spoon for maximum sauce absorption.
- Crush Heath bars just before topping to maintain their crisp, toffee crunch.
- Chill the cake overnight for more intense caramel and milk flavor integration.
