Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) box Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake Mix plus ingredients listed on the cake box (I like Duncan Hines)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (I like Eagle Brand)
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping
  • 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip thawed
  • Topping: 1/2 – 1 cup Heath toffee bits, crushed Oreo cookies, or chopped Reese's peanut butter cups

Instructions

  • Prepare the cake mix according to package directions and bake in a greased 9×13-inch pan as directed on the box.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and immediately poke holes* all over the top using the bottom of a wooden spoon. It's okay if the holes are on the larger side.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce, then slowly drizzle the mixture all over the cake, letting it soak down into the holes you created. Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Spread the Cool Whip over the top of the cake, top with the Heath toffee bits, crushed cookies or chopped candy bar and refrigerate again for at least 1 hour. Serve cold and refrigerate any leftovers. Enjoy!

Notes

*It’s best to make the holes in the cake while it is still slightly warm because as it cools, the crust on top of the cake will crumble more easily.
  • To make ahead. Make the chocolate cake up to 1 week ahead of time. Allow it to cool completely, cover it well, and store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator (or leave it at room temperature for a couple hours) and then continue with step 2, poking holes in the cake. 
  • To freeze. Allow the cake to cool completely. Cover tightly and freeze for up to about 2 months.  Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Leftovers. This cake needs to be refrigerated when not being eaten. Once the cake is topped with the Cool Whip and cookie or candy, it can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 to 4 days.
