This Heath Bar Poke Cake is a decadent dessert featuring a moist chocolate cake infused with sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. The cake is topped with creamy whipped topping and crunchy chopped Heath bars, offering a perfect balance of rich chocolate, creamy sweetness, and toffee crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • Ingredients required to prepare the chocolate cake as per box instructions (usually eggs, oil, and water)

Toppings and Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 cup chopped Heath bars (toffee candy pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the chocolate cake mix instructions. Prepare the chocolate cake batter as directed on the box using the required eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake for the time recommended on the package, usually around 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Create Poke Holes: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the top of the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart. This will allow the sweetened condensed milk and caramel to soak into the cake.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Caramel: Slowly pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the poke holes. Then drizzle the caramel sauce over the cake evenly on top of the condensed milk layer.
  4. Chill the Cake: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to absorb the milk and caramel fully.
  5. Add Whipped Topping and Heath Bars: Before serving, spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle chopped Heath bars liberally over the whipped topping to add a crunchy toffee texture and enhance the chocolate flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute homemade caramel sauce for store-bought if desired for a more natural flavor.
  • The cake is best served chilled to maintain the texture of the whipped topping and enhance the poke cake moisture.
  • For a stronger chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cake mix or add chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
