- Use the back of a wooden spoon handle to create clean, consistent holes throughout the cake for even caramel and condensed milk distribution.
- Crush Heath bars just before topping to maintain their crisp texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Chill the cake for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld and create a refreshing dessert perfect for summer gatherings.
