Ingredients

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 cups whipped topping (thawed)
  • 1.5 cups chopped chocolate candy bars (e.g., Snickers, Milky Way, or similar)
  • 0.5 cup toffee bits
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the devil's food cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar tool, poke holes all over the surface of the cake, spacing the holes approximately 1 inch apart.

Step 5

Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Next, pour the caramel sauce across the cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula to fill the holes. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.

Step 6

Once the cake is cool, spread the whipped topping evenly over the surface of the cake. Be sure to cover all the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped candy bars and toffee bits evenly over the whipped topping. If desired, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for added decoration.

Step 8

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and allows the cake to firm up.

Step 9

Slice into squares and enjoy your Better Than a Candy Bar Cake!
