Ingredients

1 box german chocolate cake mix (i use duncan hines)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (i used pecans)
1 cup milk
1 (14 oz) package caramels
icing
1 stick butter
3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1 box confectioners sugar
1/3 cup milk
dash of salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

1. In a sauce pan, melt caramels with milk over low heat, stirring occasionally. Takes about 10 - 12 minutes. In the meantime, mix cake according to directions, adding vanilla. Pour 1/2 of cake mixture in a greased and floured 13 x 9 pan Bake about 10 - 12 minutes at 350 degrees. When cake has baked for the 10 or more minutes and the sauce is ready, pour sauce over the cake. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Pour remaining batter over sauce. Bake about 20 - 30 minutes more, until done.
2. Bring butter, milk, cocoa and salt to a boil over medium heat. Add confectioners sugar. Pour over cake while both are hot. Sprinkle with nuts. (You can mix the nuts in when you add the confectioners sugar if you'd like.)

This is my new favorite chocolate cake recipe! The turtle filling is so rich and decadent, and the cake itself is moist and fluffy.

I had some trouble getting the caramel sauce to spread evenly over the cake. I think I'll try using a different recipe for caramel next time.

This cake was a little too sweet for me, but my friends loved it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the frosting.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, using gluten-free flour and sugar-free caramel sauce. The cake still turned out great and everyone enjoyed it.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of caramel, but I'm so glad I did! The caramel in this cake is not too sweet and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate and pecans.
