Ingredients

15.25 ounces Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix, Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist
3 large eggs, room temperature
1¼ cups water
½ cup canola oil
14 ounces caramel sundae sauce, Hershey’s
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
½ cup Heath Bar English toffee bits
Additional drizzle of caramel sauce, from a squeeze bottle (optional garnish)

Instructions

Spray the bottom and sides of the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with baker’s spray.
In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium speed, combine the Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil for 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, add the caramel sundae sauce and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until fully combined. Set aside.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared slow cooker insert. Cover with the lid, set the slow cooker to HIGH, and cook for 2 to 3 hours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start testing for doneness at the 2-hour mark.
While the cake is hot, poke holes all over the cake's surface using the handle of a wooden spoon.
Slowly pour the reserved caramel-sweetened condensed milk mixture over the entire cake. You may need to stop for a moment to allow the mixture to seep into all the holes of the cake before adding the remainder of the mixture.
Allow the cake to cool on the counter, then remove the slow cooker insert and place it into the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, to chill for at least 2 hours.
Once the better than sex cake has chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping in an even layer over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the Heath Bar bits over the entire top of the whipped topping. You can also add the additional optional drizzle of bottled caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

I find the Heath Toffee Bits in bags in the baking section where you find chocolate chips. If your store does not carry them, you can certainly use whole Heath Bars and finely chop them yourself.
You will need to start checking for doneness at 2 hours, as every slow cooker may heat differently, and you can not calibrate them. Some have hot spots, or some brands may heat hotter than others. If your slow cooker is not a large 6-quart size, your cake will be thicker and take longer to cook. You will have to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Some brands of caramel sauce are larger than 14 ounces. If so, you can reserve the remaining caramel sauce and use that as an additional garnish.
Place a piece of paper towel under the lid to keep the condensation from dripping onto the cake.
If you start poking your holes and the cake sticks to the wooden spoon, allow your cake to cool slightly before continuing.
This better than sex cake is best if enjoyed within the first 24 to 48 hours after it is made. This is a very moist cake; therefore, the longer the cake sits, the more the cake will soften from the added caramel and sweetened condensed milk.
