Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box German Chocolate cake mix with ingredients listed on box (eggs, water, oil)

Caramel Topping

  • 1 jar caramel sundae topping (approximately 15 oz)
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Topping and Garnish

  • 1 8 oz tub frozen whipped topping, softened (such as Cool Whip)
  • 4 to 6 Heath candy bars, crumbled or 1 cup Heath baking bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Follow the package instructions on the German Chocolate cake mix, combining the mix with the specified eggs, water, and oil. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan and bake according to the box directions. Allow the cake to cool completely before further steps.
  2. Poke Holes in Cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, use a fork to gently poke holes evenly all over the surface of the cake, allowing the caramel mixture to soak in thoroughly.
  3. Mix Caramel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the caramel sundae topping with the sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth and well blended.
  4. Soak Cake with Caramel: Pour the caramel and condensed milk mixture evenly over the surface of the cake, letting it seep into the holes created for maximum flavor infusion.
  5. Spread Whipped Topping: Evenly spread the softened whipped topping over the caramel layer with a spatula to create a creamy finish.
  6. Add Crunchy Toffee: Sprinkle the crumbled Heath candy bars or bits over the top of the whipped topping for a delicious crunchy texture.
  7. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to allow the layers to meld and set firmly before slicing and serving.
