Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:

- Add the Toppings:
- While the cake is warm, poke holes all over the top using a wooden spoon handle.

- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Fold in the whipped topping.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cake.
- Sprinkle the Heath toffee bits and mini chocolate chips on top.
- Chill and Serve:
