Instructions:

Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch glass baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, canola oil, and eggs. Beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
-
Bake the Cake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the directions on the cake mix box, typically around 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare the Toppings:
- While the cake is baking, unwrap the candy bars and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping until well combined. Set aside.
-
Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about five minutes.
- Using a bamboo skewer, chopstick, or similar tool, poke holes randomly all over the surface of the cake.
-
Add the Toppings:
- Carefully pour the sweetened condensed milk and caramel mixture over the warm cake, ensuring that it seeps into the holes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature.
-
Frost and Decorate:
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the Cool Whip frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
- Sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the Cool Whip frosting, covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle any remaining caramel topping decoratively over the candy bar topping.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve to allow the frosting to set.
