How to Make Death By Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite chocolate cake mix according to box instructions. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once the cake is completely cool, use a fork to poke numerous holes all over the top.
  6. Slowly pour 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  7. In a separate bowl, prepare your favorite caramel topping (or use 1 cup of store-bought caramel sauce).
  8. Once the condensed milk has soaked in, drizzle the caramel topping over the cake and spread evenly.
  9. Top with 1 (8-ounce) container of whipped topping, spreading evenly.
  10. Finish by sprinkling 1 cup of crushed Heath bars over the whipped topping.
