Caramels

[live4christp1]

Had to run to Walgreens to drop of DD's prescription. Of course, had to check out the Halloween candy mark-downs (grabbing some hard candies for Christmas child boxes & Christmas parade tossing)......caramels....$1.00 per bag (the good Kraft caramels).

Me thinks this calls for turtle cake!!!!!!!

Turtle Cake

1(14-ounce) package soft caramel candies
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 (18.25-ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Melt caramel candies with evaporated milk in the top of a double boiler. In a large mixing bowl combine german chocolate cake mix with water, softened butter, and eggs. Blend on low speed with an electric mixer for 30 seconds, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour half the batter in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cake puffs up. Pour the caramel/milk mixture over the partially baked layer to within 1/2-inch of the edge. Sprinkle chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the caramel. Pour the remaining batter on top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched. Cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
Makes 12 servings.

Oh wow - I love caramels!!

I'm headed to town in a bit, and I'll be passing right by WalGreens. Only now, Iwon't just pass by, I'll have to go in! Thanks for the heads-up! (and the recipe! Sounds awesome!)

Okay, I'm back! Wow, they hardly had anything left. I did score the caramels, though, plus some Snickers (DH's favorite) and some peanut M&M's too.

Yep, ours was almost out of everything too.....just caramels, Dots, and some gummy type candy.


If you try the recipe I hope you all enjoy it. It's one of my favorites!
