Ingredients

15.25 ounces Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix (Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1¼ cups water
½ cup canola oil
14 ounces caramel sundae sauce (Hershey’s)
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
½ cup Heath Bar English toffee bits
Additional drizzle of caramel sauce from a squeeze bottle (optional garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Spray the bottom and sides of the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with baker’s spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil. Mix for 2 minutes until smooth.
Step 3: In a small bowl, stir together the caramel sundae sauce and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 4: Pour the cake batter into the prepared slow cooker insert. Cover with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. Start checking for doneness at 2 hours by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Step 5: While the cake is still hot, poke holes all over the surface using the handle of a wooden spoon.
Step 6: Slowly pour the reserved caramel-sweetened condensed milk mixture over the entire cake. Pause occasionally to let the mixture seep into the holes before adding more.
Step 7: Allow the cake to cool on the counter, then transfer the slow cooker insert to the refrigerator. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
Step 8: Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle the Heath Bar toffee bits across the top, and add an optional drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.

FAQs

Can I make this cake in a regular oven instead of a crockpot?

Yes, you can bake this cake in a 9×13-inch pan at 350°F (175°C) for about 35-40 minutes, then follow the rest of the instructions as directed.

How do I know when the cake is done in the slow cooker?

Start testing for doneness at 2 hours by inserting a toothpick into the center. The cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

15.25 ounces Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix (Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1¼ cups water
½ cup canola oil

Caramel Mixture

14 ounces caramel sundae sauce (Hershey’s)
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Topping

8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
½ cup Heath Bar English toffee bits
Additional drizzle of caramel sauce from a squeeze bottle (optional garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the bottom and sides of the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with baker’s spray to prevent sticking.
Mix the cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to combine the Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil. Mix for about 2 minutes until well incorporated and smooth.
Prepare caramel mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the caramel sundae sauce and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Set aside for use later.
Cook the cake: Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared slow cooker insert. Cover with the lid and set the slow cooker to HIGH. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, checking for doneness starting at 2 hours by inserting a toothpick into the center — it should come out clean when done.
Poke holes in the cake: While the cake is still hot, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface gently but thoroughly to allow the caramel mixture to seep in.
Add caramel mixture: Slowly pour the reserved caramel and sweetened condensed milk mixture over the cake, pausing as needed to let the liquid soak deeply into the holes.
Chill the cake: Let the cake cool on the counter briefly, then carefully remove the slow cooker insert. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to firm up.
Finish and serve: Once chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the Heath Bar toffee bits on top for crunch. Optionally, drizzle additional caramel sauce from a squeeze bottle for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

Notes

Be sure to check the cake for doneness at 2 hours to avoid overcooking.
Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency and rising.
The poke-and-drizzle step is important for infusing rich caramel flavor throughout the cake.
Chilling the cake before topping helps the whipped topping stay stable.
For extra indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream on the side.
The Heath Bar bits can be substituted with any other chocolate toffee candy if unavailable.
