#1772 - Caramel Turtle Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 box Duncan Hines German chocolate cake mix
1 - 14oz. bag Kraft caramels (unwrapped)
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup Carnation evaporated milk
1 cup Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bits
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix according to box directions. Pour HALF of the batter into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. While cake is baking, in a saucepan over low heat add butter, milk and unwrapped caramels--stir/heat until smooth. When cake has baked for the 15 minutes, remove from oven and pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the top of the hot cake. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and pecans evenly over the melted caramels. Pour the rest of the prepared cake batter over the top. Return to 350 degree oven and bake 20 minutes longer.
