Ingredients

Scale

Cake

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

Caramel Layer

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

Topping

  • 1 8 oz tub frozen whipped topping, softened (such as Cool Whip)
  • 4 to 6 Heath candy bars, crumbled or use baking aisle Heath bits (about 3/4 cup crumbled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake: Follow the German Chocolate cake mix package instructions by combining the mix with required eggs, water, and oil. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch pan, bake according to package directions, and allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Poke holes in the cake: Using a fork, gently poke holes evenly all over the surface of the cooled cake to allow the caramel mixture to seep in and enhance flavor and moisture.
  3. Make the caramel mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the jar of caramel sundae topping and the 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour caramel mixture over cake: Evenly pour the caramel and condensed milk mixture over the surface of the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes you previously poked.
  5. Spread whipped topping: Using a spatula, evenly spread the softened whipped topping over the caramel layer, creating a smooth and creamy topping.
  6. Add toffee crunch: Sprinkle the crumbled Heath candy bars or Heath bits over the whipped topping for a delicious crunchy texture and toffee flavor contrast.
  7. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to set the layers and enhance flavors. Slice and serve chilled for best results.

Notes

  • Store leftovers refrigerated for up to one week or keep at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For extra indulgence, serve with additional whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • This cake is perfect for parties and holiday gatherings to impress your guests with decadent flavors.
  • Pair the cake with coffee or a cold glass of milk to balance the sweetness.
