Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the French vanilla cake mix and instant pudding mix.

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and pourable.

Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of toffee bits and the chopped milk chocolate over the glaze.
