Caramel Heath Bar Poke Cake

 🍰🍫 Caramel Heath Bar Poke Cake 🥄🍯

A rich, dreamy dessert drenched in caramel and topped with crunchy toffee bits! 🤤

**Ingredients:**

* 1 box yellow cake mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as per package)

* 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

* 1 jar caramel sauce (or homemade, about 1 cup)

* 1 tub whipped topping (8 oz, like Cool Whip)

* 1/2 cup crushed Heath toffee bars (or more for topping)

* Optional: whipped cream and extra caramel for garnish

**Instructions:**

1. **Bake the cake:** Prepare cake mix according to box instructions using a 9x13-inch pan. Bake and let cool slightly for 5–10 minutes.

2. **Poke the cake:** Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the warm cake.

3. **Soak and chill:** Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, letting it soak into the holes. Then drizzle with half of the caramel sauce. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

4. **Top it off:** Spread whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle with crushed Heath bar bits and drizzle the remaining caramel over the top.

5. **Serve:** Cut into squares and garnish with extra whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel if desired.

**Pro Tip:**

For extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped toasted pecans on top just before serving!
