Bake a regular, store bought chocolate cake mix

Allow it to cool

Use a straw to poke holes in the top of the cake

Pour jar of caramel topping over the cake

Top with real heavy whipped cream (add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar while whipping)

Put 2 or 3 Heath Bar candy bars in a zip lock baggie, lay it on the floor, beat with a hammer.  Sprinkle over cake.

Because the topping is real dairy whipped cream, keep refrigerated
