# Ingredients:
→ Milk and Cake Base

1 can of sweetened condensed milk
02 -
1 package of Devil's Food cake mix (follow the box instructions to prepare)
→ Layer and Toppings
03 -
22 oz of caramel syrup

06 -

# Instructions:
01 -
Mix the Devil's Food cake according to the box directions, usually combining oil, water, and eggs. Bake it until rich and soft, making sure not to overbake.
02 -
Let the cake cool a bit. Once it’s warm but not hot, chop it into smaller squares. This ensures it absorbs the condensed milk well.
03 -
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk across the cake pieces. Let it soak in completely. This step is key for a moist texture.
04 -
Start by placing a third of the cake squares evenly as the bottom layer in your trifle dish.
05 -
Spread a third of the whipped cream on top of the first cake layer, drizzle caramel syrup, and toss some Heath toffee bits over everything.
06 -
Repeat the pattern of cake squares, caramel, cream, and toffee bits two more times until you’ve built three complete layers.
07 -
Scatter the crushed pieces of the Heath bar across the final whipped cream layer as a finishing touch.
08 -
Cover the dish and let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to settle.
