Ingredients:
1 German Chocolate Cake Mix
Ingredients called for on cake mix (oil, eggs, water)
1 (14 oz) bag of Kraft Caramels (or any other caramels you like)
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup butter (which is about 3/4 of a cube)
1-2 cups chocolate chips (however many you like)
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Mix together cake mix as directed on the box. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9×13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
While it bakes, unwrap all the caramels (don’t have your husband help- he will eat half of them. I am totally speaking from experience). Put the caramels, milk, and butter in a sauce pan and melt over low heat, stirring constantly until caramel is melted and smooth.
Pour the caramel on the cake as soon as it is finished baking. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and pecans on top of the caramel. Spread the remaining half of the prepared cake mix batter on top. Bake for 20 more minutes at 350 degrees.

YUM! Snickers might be one of my favorite things ever… so I have to try this cake!
I love this cake, I’ve been making it since the 80s.
I’ve also heard this called Turtle Cake. Either way…YUMMY!
what if I used crushed peanuts instead of pecans? I think it would be even more like snickers as opposed to Turtle… ? comments?
