Ingredients
- 1 Chocolate Cake , baked in a 9x13'' pan
- 1 recipe caramel sauce , or one 16oz jar caramel topping
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 heath candy bars , chopped*
Instructions
- Bake cake in a 9x13'' according to recipe directions. Allow cake to cool, then poke holes in it with a fork or wooden skewer.
- Pour caramel sauce all over the cake, followed by sweetened condensed milk (I usually use about 1/2 of the can but the traditional recipe uses an entire can).
- Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks. Add powdered sugar and then beat the mixture until stiff peaks. Smooth the fresh whipped cream over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with heath candy pieces.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to one day, before serving.

Notes
- Heath Bars: Use half of a bag of chopped heath bits to save time. (Freeze remaining to use on another cake).
- Make Ahead Instructions: Make the chocolate cake up to 1 week ahead of time. Cover it well and store in freezer. Thaw completely before poking holes and adding topping. Make the homemade caramel sauce several days in advance, to save time. It can be poured on the cake warm or cold.
