7. To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Sprinkle with Heath Bar toffee bits. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and frosting.
8. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Sprinkle additional Heath Bar toffee bits on top for decoration.
