Semi-Homemade Turtle Cake!!!!

[LadyCoonskinner]

Good stuff, but oh so rich.

I made one of these this evening and it was so rich, it almost made me sick. My husband and son and Nate Bassett loved it, so I guess it was pretty good.

Since I can't grill anything for a while, I guess I"ll just have to bake, huh.

[Bryan]

semi-homemade??? you bought it at the store and put it in the microwave??

[tamor]

That was wrong!!

:thwak

[tamor]

It sounds heavenly LCS!

[Bryan]

That was wrong!!

:thwak

twice in one night!! ouch! the question marks indicate that I was asking a question.. I will ask so educated folk will understand.

here I go:

Sister Coonskinner, Did you purchase that wonderful dessert at the market pre-fabricated, then take it home and warm it in the microwave oven??

That's still wrong! :thwak Three times (but who's counting)
You don't accuse a woman of sticking a premade dessert in the microwave. You eat it and act like it's the best thing since sliced bread.

My apologies to Sis Coon. :)

Tamor, I dunno where I'd be if I didn't have you to keep me in check! I'm eager to learn what you have to teach me about your kind! Give a guy some tips so he doesn't make any fumbles when he decides it is time to get on the market (dating)!!!!:hanky

No sir, I did not. I made it all here at my house, using a cake mix as the base. Everything else was done from scratch.....ie caramels, butter, evaporated milk, cho. chips.

It was pretty good.

Yummmm...that sounds good!!! That reminded me that we forgot to make the peach cobbler that I had bought the Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream to eat with last Saturday.

You will be pleased to know that we rememberd the next day though! LOL!!

[CC1]

Isn't PETA going to throw a fit about cakes being made from poor little turtles?

[Margies3]

Mmmm. this sounds so good and I got so excited - I forgot to put paper in the printer when I went to print it out!! I'm definately making this for the next potluck I have to go to.

I apparently have found some pounds that somebody lost! There is a little 3 year old girl who is like a grandaughter to my wife and I. She stays with us sometimes and was here last weekend.

As I was getting ready for bed and had pulled my shirt off she looked at me and said "You are BIG!!!". I said "are you calling me FAT?". She smiled sweetly and said "Yes!". Kids......:lol

3/4 cup melted butter
14 oz bag of caramels
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups pecan halves

Mix cake s directef on box. Pour 1/2 batter in to 9x13 inch greased and floured cake pan. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Melt caramels with butter and evaporated milk in double boiler or microwave; stir often. Pour over cake. Top with 1 cup of pecan halves and 1 cup chocolate chips. Pour rest of batter on top.

I think there may be some left. I have only had one tiny sliver. Really, cause it's so rich.

[LadyCoonskinner]

It really is. I just grilled (went out and bought a cheap one that uses Charcoal--yucky--) and grilled some good ribeyes and fried some fries, so I'm full and afraid that if I wait it will all be gone.

I prefer charcoal, and if I am out of those, wood logs or dried cow pies are fine... I hate gas grills.

I AM a city slicker. It is just so hard to regulate. I multi-task, so it is hard to cook and fry french fries and so on and so on. So it is hard to keep everything from burning because you can't regulate the heat.

Dried cow pies???? Where do you get those??? Please don't tell me you pick 'em up out of your yard!! Ewwwww. I don't think I could eat something cooked over dried cow manure. Sorry.

[LadyCoonskinner]

No. I just saw it in one of my recipe books and thought it looked good. I LOVE pecans in desserts, so I decided to make this one.

I'm almost sick now, though, cause that thing is so rich!!!!!

Sugar overdose....been there!

[LadyCoonskinner]

Ooh me too. I love chocolate, but I don't care for it without nuts of some kind.

I like chocolate cake, reses cups, and peanut M&M's and chocolate ice cream WITH almonds in it. But other than that, I'm not a big chocolate eater. Now the Skinner, that's a whole nother deal. He LOVES and I mean LOVES chocolate, especially dark chocolate--eeewwwww--too bitter for me.

[Thad]

Sugar overdose....been there!

No I do not!!!! He doesn't bring it home for me to cook--no way,hosea--that's too gross.

BTW, I fried chicken last night, and it was delicious. Also, had mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn, and tea and turtle cake.
