Step-by-step

• Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan; cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
• Make slits across the top of the cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom.
• In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping, stirring until smooth and blended.
• Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)
• Let cake cool completely, then top with whipped topping.
• Decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping.
• Refrigerate and serve right from the pan!
