Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- Eggs (as per cake mix instructions)
- Oil (vegetable or canola, as per cake mix instructions)
- Water (as per cake mix instructions)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 container whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
- 1 cup Heath Bar pieces (pre-crushed or crushed from whole bars)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the cake batter by combining the chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, and water according to the package instructions. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, letting it seep into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top, making sure to cover the holes well.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the Heath Bar pieces over the top of the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
[‘Don’t let the cake cool completely before poking holes; warm cake absorbs the condensed milk better.’, ‘Be generous with the caramel sauce for richer flavor.’, ‘Use chilled whipped topping for easier spreading.’, ‘Add an extra layer of Heath Bar pieces between the caramel and whipped topping for extra crunch.’, ‘Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container to keep the whipped topping fresh.’]
