- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

🔥 How to Make Slice of Heaven Cake
1. Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven and prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Pour it into a greased 9x13-inch pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
2. Let It Cool (Slightly)
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
3. Poke Holes
Use the handle of a wooden spoon (or a thick skewer) to poke holes all over the cake. Don’t be shy—make plenty of holes so the filling can soak in beautifully.
4. Pour the Sweetened Condensed Milk
Slowly pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake, letting it seep into all the holes.
5. Drizzle with Caramel
Drizzle a generous amount of caramel topping over the cake as well, saving some for later. Let the cake sit for about 30 minutes so it can absorb all that sweet goodness.
6. Cool Completely
Let the cake cool completely in the pan. You can refrigerate it to speed this up — just make sure it’s covered to stay moist.
7. Top with Cool Whip
Once the cake is fully cooled, spread a thick layer of Cool Whip over the top for that dreamy creamy finish.
8. Candy Time!
Sprinkle the chopped Snickers (or candy of choice) over the whipped topping for a delightful crunch in every bite.
9. Final Drizzle
Finish with a final drizzle of caramel sauce on top. This is where the wow factor really hits!

- Serve cold for a refreshing treat.

❄️ Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze the cake (before adding whipped topping) for up to 1 month.
⚡ Time-Saving Tips
- Use pre-chopped candy bars or candy pieces.
- Bake the cake a day ahead and decorate the next morning.
