Heath Bar Cake

One box of German chocolate cake mix

Prepare cake mix as directed on the box, bake in a 9” by 13” pan.

When the cake is done, punch holes over the top of the cake. Pour one can of Eagle brand condensed milk over top of cake. Next pour one jar of caramel ice cream topping over milk. Do this while the cake is still hot. Then let it cool completely.

When it’s cool, spread one medium-sized Cool Whip over the caramel topping. You can purchase Heath bars already crushed, or crush your own using a food processor. Sprinkle the crushed Heath bars over Cool Whip. Refrigerate the cake until it’s ready to serve. Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator.
