1 box devil's food cake mix this is the base of your cake, providing a rich chocolate flavor
1 cup chocolate chips (170g) choose between milk or semisweet chips for the perfect melt-in-your-mouth experience
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14-ounce) adds creamy sweetness that soaks into the cake
1 cup caramel sauce (320g) drizzle this over the cake for an irresistible ooey-gooey topping
12 ounces Cool Whip will create a light, fluffy layer on top of the cake
3 Heath bars crushed, for added crunch and to finish off the cake beautifully

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the devil's food cake mix according to the package instructions, then pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake it for the time specified on the box, usually around 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is baked and still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake. This step is crucial as it allows the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce to seep into the cake, making it incredibly moist.
Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake, ensuring it fills the holes you poked. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak in.
Next, drizzle the caramel sauce over the cake, allowing it to create a beautiful, gooey layer on top. Use as much or as little as you like—there’s no such thing as too much caramel!
Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature. Once it’s cool, cover it and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or until you are ready to serve it.
Once chilled, spread the Cool Whip over the top of the cake evenly. This will create a light and fluffy contrast to the rich chocolate and caramel layers.
Finally, sprinkle the crushed Heath bars over the Cool Whip layer. This adds a delightful crunch and an extra layer of chocolatey goodness to your Better Than Anything Cake.

For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake batter.
Make sure to let the cake cool completely before adding the toppings to avoid melting the Cool Whip.
Chill the cake overnight for even better flavor—let the ingredients meld together for a truly irresistible dessert.
