Ingredients

  • 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package dark chocolate cake mix
  • 1 1/3 cups water (or as directed in cake directions)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or as directed in cake directions)
  • 3 egg (or as directed in cake directions)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (8-12 ounce) jar Mrs Richardson's caramel topping or butterscotch topping
  • ounces whipped topping (Extra Creamy Dream Whip is good)
  • 2 Heath candy bar, crushed (Skor bars or Nestle's Heath bits will also work, if you can find them)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. 2
      Grease and lightly flour 13" x 9" cake pan.
    3. 3
      Mix cake as directed on package.
    4. 4
      Bake the cake about 35 minutes or until it tests done.
    5. 5
      As soon as it comes out of the oven, poke holes all over it with a fork (I actually use a small diameter chop stick) and pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, followed by caramel sauce (microwaved about one minute until warm and easily pourable - I use only about 10 oz of the jar).
    6. 6
      Refrigerate overnight.
    7. 7
      Shortly before serving, spread whipped topping over cake and sprinkle with crushed Heath bars (or bits).
    8. 8
      Enjoy.

    Wow!! Great and easy recipe! Made this for work today and went over perfectly. Only thing I did differently was used a 12 oz. cool whip and drizzled some caramel on top! Thanks for posting!!

    I sure can vouch for this one. I've made this at least a dozen times in the past two years and have always recieved many compliments! This was known to me as the "better than sex" cake, and most people blushingly agree when they taste it that it's title lives up to it's name!

    This cake was absolutely rich and decadent!! I used a fudge cake mix, caramel butterscotch ice cream topping and extra creamy whipped topping and it turned out marvelous! My brother in law who doesn't eat many sweets, especially chocolate, gave me a container and told me to "put as much as you can in it" for him to take home! Everyone adored this cake.
