Byron's Birthday Cake Recipe

I am going to attempt to make this cake for Byron's birthday. I was looking for a recipe similar to one a friend use to make but I couldn't find her version. So instead of attempting it from memory I found this version which seems to be very common and had a ton a good reviews. So hopefully it will taste good.

"Rich chocolate cake, caramel, toffee, and whipped topping - need I say more?!"
Ingredients:
1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake
mix
1/2 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed
milk
6 ounces caramel ice cream topping
3 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered toffee,
chopped
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped
topping, thawed
Directions:
1. Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan; cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Make slits across the top of the cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping, stirring until smooth and blended. Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)
3. Let cake cool completely, then top with whipped topping. Decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan!
