| Oh my sweet, sweet, friends…..THIS is THE cake to make! It is extremely moist, the crushed toffee gives it a sweet/savory taste, and there is an amazing mix of textures…YUMMY! I made this last night for my church ABF get-together and it was a hit.
|
| A dark chocolate cake out of the oven (I used a Duncan Hines box mix), 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 6 Heath bars, 1 large container of whipped topping, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup. |
 |
| When the cake is still warm, poke holes throughout…I just used a fork |
 |
| Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over top the cake (I used a butter knife to evened it out over top-it will eventually saturate into the cake) |
 |
| Crush Heath bars in a large Ziploc |
 |
| Squeeze chocolate and caramel over top of cake and top with 3/4 of the crushed Heath bars. |
 |
| Then, top carefully with your Cool-whip |
 |
| Drizzle caramel and chocolate over top of that and sprinkle with remaining Heath bars. |
"Better than a hug" cake (lol)

oh. my. goodness. That looks so yummy!!!
Mia, you grown up's will love it 🙂 lol! Alida, it sure is!
I saw they have the chocolate heath bits in the baking aisle this time of year, that can save some time and mess if you're not into that sort of thing…. but oh my this cake looks rich! I don't know if it's "better than a hug" lol but it sure does look tasty
Oh. My. WORD!!! I just gained 10 lbs.
I am def. going to try this one. We are huge chocolate lovers in my house.
LOL!!! Holly, I had to "change" the name of this cake to make it G rated
(I DO NOT take credit for the original name of this cake!!!) …but I love hugs too!!! What a great tip-Heath bits! Gina, you will love it! Bless you!
MMMMMM…I testify to the truth of the name! lol!!
Courtney
Courtney, our ABF group had some funny names for it too..they crack me up!!
I do my best to put this cake out of my mind, then people like Gina remind me it's still here. This cake is screaming my name, and I can hear it all the way from Canada. Apparently there's only one way to quiet the screams. Ugh…
LOL! "Make me, Make me!"
Looks so yummy! I;m thinking it might be better than a lot of things! 😉
Lol, Melinda! You are very right..I would much rather eat this cake than put away laundry (which reminds me….)
Just found your blog and look forward to trying some of these recipes. This chocolate cake is definitely first on the list … and then maybe the perfect choc. chip cookies.
I'm the mother of 12 children, so I spend a LOT of time in the kitchen, and always love to try new recipes (even if I have to double or triple every one).
Blessings,
Laurel
Had to share this one on FB! Looks SO yummy. I love Heath Bars.
I have a cake I make that is really simliar, the only difference is that I put some cream cheese before the whipped cream and then I have always used butterfingers.
I am so glad to find this recipe – again. Thanks. I will be making it very soon for our small group at church. Love your blog.
oh my goodness, almaost makes you wantta do it in a cupcake to see if you can get the whole thing in your mouth LOL LOL
Helen
this looks way too uh hum sinful. ;P oh, my we are having company this weekend I may have to try this one.
Janelle,
I’m not a baker at all, but am making this for my son’s family birthday. Can I make it earlier in the day and keep in the frig or does that make the carmel hard? Thanks for any advice.
Yes, you can! the cake is SO moist from the condensed milk…you will be just fine 😉
It was awesome!!!!!!! Everyone loved it. Thank you!
Wohoo!!!!
I’m making this today for a treat for my women’s bible study group tonight! I can hardly wait to try it! YUMMO!!!
I made this cake for my church’s end-of-Daniel-Fast lunch today 🙂 It was delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe and thanks for serving Jesus!
Thank you Candace!!!
I love the fact that you call this Better than a Hug cake. I have heard it called something else and never really liked the term. Thanks for the post!
Just made it for memorial day! The family is looking forward to desssert:)
My mom use to make this but she called it a Heath Bar Cake but no matter what you call it, it’s DIVINE! 😉
It sure IS!!!!!! Mmmm
I’ve made this cake for my husband before! Except I used jiffy cake mix (since the condensed milk adds moisture anyway) and butterfinger! This is one of those recipes you can make with any chocolate candy bar you prefer!
I’m not sure how I can ask God to bless this dessert to my body ~ but I will try! I’m having company this weekend and can’t wait to pass it out!! Yum!
