easy to make and a big hit at dinners
I’ve actually made it before this is my second time. This time there is no caramel, not toffee chips either. It was pure delicious evilness the first time. It’s Valentine’s Day 2020… We will see this time around.
This cake is delicious and loved by everyone in the family. Just follow the recipe for great results.
Absolutely love it!! Perfect just how it is! I take this to work functions and it’s the first thing gone….

Awesome, eat a piece and you’ll want another!
I’ve been making this cake for at least 20 years now. After preparing the batter, I sprinkle 1 cup of mini chocolate chips over it before baking. I use the 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk followed by a 17 oz jar of Mrs. Richardson’s Butterscotch Caramel topping. Just before serving, I sprinkle 1/2 cup of toffee bits and 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans over the Kool Whip. Because it is so rich and so sweet, I find I can cut the 13 by 9 cake into 24 pieces and everyone is satisfied.
I use carmel instead of chocolate and it is awesome
Sooooooo Gooooood!!! I could eat the whole thing!
Very rich, sweet.
It was way too sweet and no one cared for it. Just too much with the sweetened condensed milk. Actually I would rate it zero stars if I could. Won’t make again obviously
I love this cake!!! I unfortunately am NOT a fan of heath bars so I have always used Butterfinger candy Bars. Super Delish!!!!!
My go to cake for any family function and 2 daughters birthdays -I like to add caramel ice cream topping with the condensed milk and warm both together then pour in the holes – top with half the english toffee bits you can now buy then warm hot fudge topping in the microwave and pour over that while all still warm – put in the fridge until cool (overnight) and top with the whipped topping -to die for
My son likes snickers, so I use 1 cup of chocolate syrup and 1 cup of caramel and then use crushed up snickers for topping!! Delicious!! I make it every year for his birthday and everyone raves.
This is also good if you use caramel ice cream topping in place of the hot fudge and either chopped Snickers or Butterfinger Bars in place of the english toffee. This is one of those cakes that you bring to a potluck or family gathering and it’s gone as soon as it hits the table.
so yummyyyyy. I did it just like that and i did another one with white cake and caramel. Both r just delish
Very yummy! I would recommend crushing up the candy bar as much as possible and keeping them in the fridge until time.
I gave this 3 stars, cause it was tasty but so unbelievably sweet! The condensed milk puts it over the top. I would omit the condensed milk next time…
Great! & even omitted the milk & candy. Will make again. thanks
I love this cake. I have been making it for years. I sometimes use only fudge no caramel with fresh strawberries instead of the heath candy bar. It so good. I love it both ways.
Loved it! Added Heath toffee bits and mini choc chips instead of chopped candy bars and heated the cond milk with caramel and used as much hot fudge as needed 2 cover the cake. Excellent recipe!
