How To Make turtle cake:

  • 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.
