Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer batter to a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Use a skewer or the handle of a wooden spoon to make holes in the cake. Don't poke too far down into the cake, otherwise the sauce will pool at the bottom. Poke the holes about 1 inch apart.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of caramel sauce evenly over the entire cake.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
Top with Cool Whip.
Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chopped Heath bars.
Slice into pieces and serve.

Notes
**We used a Betty Crocker cake mix for this recipe. The egg, water, and oil portions in this recipe are the same as those on the cake mix box. If using a different brand of cake mix, prepare the cake as indicated on the box.
If preferred, you can swap the devils food cake mix with regular chocolate, vanilla, or white cake mix - choose your favorite.
The cake can be slightly warm when pouring the toppings over, but it needs to be cold when topping with Cool Whip so that the Cool Whip doesn’t melt.
The caramel sauce should also be cool when pouring over the Cool Whip.
You can use regular size Heath bars or a bag of the minis. We used close to a full 10 oz. bag of minis.
Store leftover cake in an air-tight container or tightly covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To freeze, wrap the cake with plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
You can prepare this cake a day in advance then cover it with either an air-tight lid or plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
