Ingredients
- Chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake layers)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or melted chocolate)

Instructions
- Bake the Cake – Prepare the chocolate cake as directed on the box (or from scratch). Bake in two 9-inch round pans. Let cool.
- Caramel Layer – Poke small holes into the warm cake with a skewer or fork. Drizzle caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk over the cake, letting it soak in.
- Add Pecans & Chocolate – Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top, then drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle chocolate chips.
- Layer It Up – Place the second cake layer on top, repeat with caramel, pecans, and chocolate drizzle.
- Decorate – Frost with whipped cream or a light chocolate frosting, then garnish with extra pecans, caramel swirls, and a chocolate drizzle for that turtle candy look.
- Serve & Enjoy – Slice into this gooey, chocolatey, caramelly masterpiece!
