"This is a dangerous cake to have around, it's *so* delicious! for the members that live in Canada and cannot get heath bars use Hershey's Skor toffee pieces, sold in a 200 gram package. This cake has a sweet crunchy topping and is really easy to make. This cake is like no other, just make it and see! This cake can also be made in an 11 x 7-inch baking pan or a springform pan also."

My bf said that this cake should be illegal it is so good! I poured 1/2 of the cake batter then sprinkled a few chocolate chips, then poured the rest of the cake batter. Of course I added the Heath Bar topping too. Wonderful coffee cake!
