Who loves Turtles? 🙋🏼♀️I’m talking about the ooey-gooey pecan-y chocolate-covered caramel-filled candy. Okay, actual turtles are kinda cool too but this is Tuesday so that means treats. And a title. If turtles are your secret delight, you should try this cake. Just sayin’…
Turtle Dump Cake

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box chocolate instant pudding
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, add the instant chocolate pudding mix and the whole milk and whisk until the pudding dissolves and thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the cake mix, the caramel sauce, and 1 cup of the dark chocolate chips to the pudding mixture and stir until combined.

Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the chopped pecans and the remaining dark chocolate chips on top of the batter.

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs clinging to it, about 30-35 minutes. The sides of the cake will be puffy and slightly pulled away from the sides of the pan.

Serve.
Leigh Daniels was an arson investigator down in the Dallas area. The last person she ever suspected she’d hook up with is Brian “Smoke” Jenner, arsonist, outlaw biker, lone wolf. In more ways than one. Should I mention that I made myself cry when I was writing some scenes in this book? It would have been nice to have a Turtle Dump Cake handy for snacking. It’s guaranteed to make things better–which is why Leighy always keeps the incredients on hand. Turns out her Wolf has a sweet tooth. You can read their story by clicking on either pic with the cover or here on the title, NIGHT FIRE. After you click, you’ll bebop over to Books2Read where you can find your on-line bookseller of choice. And now, I’ll ask once more…

Oh, yum. Those look awesome, darn you. I’m trying to be good and retard the progress of my ever-widening ass. =op Good thing books don’t add calories, because if the yumminess of your books equated to calories, I’d be huge.
Good Morning Silver!! This cake sounds so yummy!!! Great accompaniment to a steaming cup of hot coffee!!☕☕
