Start by preparing the German Chocolate cake according to the package instructions. Use a 9×13-inch baking pan. After baking, allow the cake to cool completely.

Once cooled, grab a fork and poke holes across the top of the cake. This allows the next layer to seep into the cake, creating pockets of caramel goodness. Mix the sweetened condensed milk with the caramel topping until well combined, then evenly pour the mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.

Spread the thawed whipped topping over the caramel-soaked cake. For the final touch, sprinkle the crushed Heath bars over the whipped topping. If using Heath bits, scatter them generously to cover the cake, giving it that delightful crunch.

Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This sets the layers and makes it easier to cut into perfect, decadent slices.
