Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix by combining it with the water, vegetable oil, and eggs as per the package instructions.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the times listed on the cake mix box, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, combine the caramel topping and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven. While it is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface of the cake, spacing them about 1 to 2 inches apart.
Slowly pour the caramel and condensed milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes and covers the surface evenly.
Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the entire surface.
Sprinkle the Heath toffee bits generously over the whipped topping for a delicious, crunchy finish.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
