Chocolate Turtle Cake

This is seriously the best chocolate turtle cake I've ever had, and it's so easy to make. It tastes really great topped with buttercream frosting or all on it's own.

Original Recipe: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes.aspx/chocolate-turtle-cake/20fb6793-6b6c-4dd2-82f1-96787d229b50


1 box Dark Chocolate or Devils Food cake mix
1 1/3 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 (14oz) bag of caramels, unwrapped
1/2 cup fat free evaporated milk
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 (325 if using dark or nonstick pan)
2. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, and eggs for 30 seconds on low and then 2 minutes on medium speed.
3. Pour 1/2 the cake mix batter into a greases 9x13 cake pan and bake for 22 minutes (25 for dark or nonstick). Place the remaining batter in the fridge.
4. While the cake is baking, melt the caramels and evaporated milk on medium heat until all the caramels are melted.
5. Add the pecans to the caramel mix and pour over the warm cake in pan.
6. Spread the remaining batter on top of the caramel and sprinkle on the chocolate chips.
7. Bake 25 minutes (29 for dark or nonstick) or until cake springs back when gently touched.
8. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and cool for 30 minutes before serving.
