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.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil for 2 minutes.
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 set the slow cooker to HIGH. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, testing for doneness with a toothpick starting at 2 hours.
Step 5: While the cake is hot, poke holes all over the surface using the handle of a wooden spoon.
Step 6: Slowly pour the caramel and sweetened condensed milk mixture over the entire cake, allowing it to soak into the holes before adding more.
Step 7: Let the cake cool on the counter, then cover and refrigerate the slow cooker insert for at least 2 hours.
Step 8: Once chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cake. Sprinkle with Heath Bar toffee bits and drizzle additional caramel sauce if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra texture, try adding chopped nuts along with the toffee bits on top.
Use a 6-quart slow cooker to ensure the cake cooks evenly without spilling.
If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of caramel sundae sauce slightly.
Allowing the cake to chill fully before adding whipped topping helps it hold its shape better.

Storage

Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions briefly in the microwave if desired, but it’s delicious served cold or at room temperature as well.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different cake mix?

Yes, though the Triple Chocolate Fudge mix gives the richest flavor. You can substitute your favorite chocolate cake mix, but results may vary slightly.

Do I have to use the slow cooker method?

This recipe is designed for the slow cooker, which gives the cake its moist texture and easy preparation. Conventional oven baking would require adjustments in time and temperature.

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

Toppings

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 Slow Cooker: Spray the bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker insert with baker’s spray to prevent sticking.
Mix Cake Batter: In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil. Mix for about 2 minutes until smooth and well blended.
Prepare Caramel Mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the caramel sundae sauce and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Set aside.
Cook Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared slow cooker insert. Cover with the lid, set the slow cooker to HIGH, and cook for 2 to 3 hours. Begin checking for doneness at 2 hours by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when done.
Poke Holes in Cake: While the cake is still hot, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface of the cake. This allows the caramel mixture to soak in deeply.
Add Caramel Mixture: Slowly pour the reserved caramel and sweetened condensed milk mixture over the entire cake, pausing occasionally to let the mixture seep into the holes before adding the rest.
Chill Cake: Let the cake cool at room temperature, then remove the slow cooker insert and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and chill.
Add Toppings: Once chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the Heath Bar toffee bits on top. Optionally, drizzle additional caramel sauce from a squeeze bottle over the finished cake for extra indulgence.

Notes

Make sure to test the cake at the 2-hour mark to avoid overcooking.
Using room temperature eggs helps create a moister cake.
The cake must be cooled and chilled for proper texture before adding toppings.
The Heath Bar toffee bits add a pleasant crunch; substitute with any English toffee bits if unavailable.
Optional caramel drizzle enhances appearance and flavor, but can be omitted for less sweetness.
