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
  • 45 Heath bars, crushed
  • 1 cup Heath toffee bits
  • Caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare chocolate cake mix according to package directions and bake in a 9×13-inch pan at recommended temperature.
  2. After removing cake from oven, create multiple perforations across the surface using a fork or wooden spoon handle, ensuring deep and evenly distributed holes.
  3. Gradually pour sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce over the warm cake, allowing liquid to penetrate deeply into the perforated areas.
  4. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for approximately 2 hours, enabling flavors to meld and cake to absorb moisture completely.
  5. Carefully spread a smooth, even layer of whipped topping across the entire cake surface, covering all previous layers.
  6. Crush Heath bars into small, delicate fragments and distribute generously over the whipped topping.
  7. 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.
