Turtle Cake

This recipe was a well-loved dessert that my husband's grandmother served for special occasions. I am serving it for Superbowl Sunday dessert.

Turtle Cake

1 pkg. German chocolate cake mix
3/4 c. butter
1 c. canned milk
1 pkg. (14 oz.) caramels (unwrap before mixing cake)
1 c. chopped pecans (we leave these out)
1 c. chocolate chips

Combine cake mix, butter and 2/3 cup of the canned milk; mix well. Press half of the mixture into 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.Melt caramels in the 1/3 cup of canned milk and pour over the baked cake. Spread evenly. Sprinkle pecans and chocolate chips over caramel mixture. Put rest of cake mixture over top and spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Canning Guidelines

I am a home cook that collects recipes from all over the Internet. Not all the canning recipes here are USDA approved. I assume you know the basics of canning safely. If you do not, please learn before attempting any canning recipes here or elsewhere. A good place to start is freshpreserving.com. Another excellent resource is Granny Miller. I do not write every single step of the canning process in every recipe. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I live at 1-1000 ft elevation, so the recipes are written for that elevation. Adjust accordingly for your elevation.
