Semi-Homemade Turtle Cake!!!!
 

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.

That was wrong!!

:thwak

It sounds heavenly LCS!

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

Start by telling her the cake sounds wonderful....:sshhh :sshhh :sshhh

the cake sounds wonderful!!!!

Hmmmm......



Need I say more?

Hello rrford! Any coincidence we meet at at the cookie jar?

you are back!!!

Nah. I usually hang around there this time of night.

Like a fat kid on a donut! How are things in CA???

If you never leave how can you come back?

LOL! I was eating cookies the other night when I realized my other hand contained a glass of half and half! You know... regular milk is high in carbohydrates!!

things are good...

True I have been reading here quite regularly.

Is there a diabetic version now that MrsBoomm is home?

Sorrythey ALL vanished.:heeheehee


So glad she is home BOOM!

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.

Yes!!

Did I miss it? Did you post the recipe???

she did not post the recipe.. came on and teased us about how great it was... no recipe!!!!

This is like the one I make - can be made with chocolate cake mix too (my fav)!

Bake for 40 minutes or until cake puffs up around the sides of pan and springs back when touched.

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!!

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

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.

Are you gonna make one for your hot date?? :heeheehee

Not for Sat. night, but I will be making something for Sunday........

Breakfast?
:haloplug

Lol....naw, lunch.

I think I need to ignore this thread... this is NOT good reading for someone who is living off salads & chicken in hopes of losing a few pounds! :D

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

:killinme :killinme :killinme That'll teach you to ask questions!

Kids are painfully honest sometimes aren't they? That's why I'm living on chicken & salads for a while... my 8 yr old son is "honest" too. :D

:heeheehee :heeheehee

Ok, here's the recipe for everybody but Berk:

1 german cho cake mix
(prepare as directed)
1/2 cup evaporated milk
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. Put rest of pecans and chocolate chips on top. Bake for 20-30 minutes.

Voila, that's all there is to it. It is really good.

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

Now THAT sounds easy. And wonderful!! Definitely one to try.

Let me tell ya, if I can do it, it is REALLY easy!!!
