Equipment

  • 1 9x13 cake pan
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box Devil's Food Cake Mix or German chocolate cake, or any chocolate cake mix
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 11 ounce can
  • 8 ounces caramel sauce
  • 8 ounces whipping cream topping slightly thawed
  • 3 English toffee candy bars crushed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a glass or metal 9x13 baking dish or pan with nonstick cooking spray, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix according the packaging. I used Pillsbury which requires water, vegetable oil, and eggs.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes, until an inserted toothpick in the center of the cake, comes out clean, or as directed by cake mix.
  • Remove from oven, and while the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon, or a fork, poke holes throughout the top of the cake.
  • Cover the cake and then place it in refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the cake completely cool. Once cake is cool, pour sweetened condensed milk over the top, letting the liquid fill the holes and cover the cake. 
  • Next, pour the caramel sauce over the cake, and use a spoon or rubber spatula to even spread over the cake. Spoon the sauce over the top of the cake a few times, filling the holes. Chill cake again for about 30 minutes, or cover and keep chilled until ready to serve.
  • When you are ready to serve, slightly thaw and then spread the whipped topping over the cake, then sprinkle the chopped Heath Bars over the top of the cake.

Notes

Tips:

Be careful not to push spoon or fork all the way to the bottom of the cake as you want the filling to stay in the cake, not come out into the bottom of the pan, making a sticky mess.
I love making my own whipped cream topping with heavy cream, but unless you are going to serve it immediately, stick to the frozen topping. Homemade whipping cream seems to melt pretty quickly, and you want this to present well with a more firm topping. 
Save a little bit of the caramel sauce to drizzle over the tops of slices before serving.
