Ingredients

• 1 box box chocolate cake mix
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 3 large eggs
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.75 cup caramel sauce
• 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 4 bars chocolate-covered toffee candy bars (e.g., Heath bars), crushed

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box, combining the cake mix with vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes across the surface of the cake about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, letting it seep into the holes. Follow this with the caramel sauce, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.

Step 7

Let the cake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Once chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cake.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crushed candy bars generously over the top of the whipped topping.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
