Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions by combining the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the baked cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake, ensuring the holes reach nearly to the bottom.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, letting it soak into the holes.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes as well. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
Sprinkle the toffee bits generously over the whipped topping.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
