1. Prepare the Cake Mix: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a large mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Add melted butter instead of oil for a richer flavor. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9ร—13-inch baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. This creates the base layer of your cake. ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿงˆ

2. Melt Caramel and Add Pecans: While the cake is baking, unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a saucepan over low heat. Add the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until the caramels are fully melted and smooth. This may take 5-7 minutes. Stir in half of the chopped pecans to the caramel mixture. ๐Ÿฅœ๐Ÿฌ

3. Layer the Cake: Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven. Pour the melted caramel mixture evenly over the baked cake layer, making sure to cover the entire surface. Then, sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the caramel layer. ๐Ÿง๐Ÿฏ

4. Finish the Cake: Pour the remaining cake batter over the caramel and chocolate chips. Spread it carefully with a spatula to ensure even coverage. Bake the cake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the top layer is set and a toothpick comes out clean. ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฅœ

5. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for 30 minutes. Serve with whipped cream on top and drizzle extra caramel over each slice. For an extra crunch, garnish with the remaining pecans. Enjoy the gooey, chocolatey goodness of this indulgent Turtle Cake! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿฏ
