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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
