  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 1 package (18.25 oz) yellow cake mix
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup water
– 1 large egg
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 jar (12.25 oz) caramel topping
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup toffee bits
– 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
– 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
– Optional: Additional toffee bits for garnish


Instructions

Creating Better Than Anything Bars involves a simple but effective series of steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Cake Mix: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, water, and egg. Beat until smooth and well combined.
3. Bake Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
4. Poke Holes: Once cooled, poke holes all over the surface of the cake using the end of a wooden spoon or a fork.
5. Mix Sweetened Condensed Milk and Caramel: In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping until well blended.
6. Pour Mixture: Pour the condensed milk and caramel mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes for maximum flavor.
7. Add Chocolate Chips and Toffee: Sprinkle the chocolate chips and toffee bits evenly over the top of the cake.
8. Layer on Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped topping generously over everything, achieving an even layer.
9. Drizzle with Chocolate Syrup: Drizzle chocolate syrup on top for added flavor and a stunning presentation.
10. Chill: Place the bars in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes to set properly.
11. Cut and Serve: Once set, cut into squares and serve with optional toffee bits sprinkled on top for garnish.
