How to Make Easy Turtle Snack Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, using the specified amounts of water, eggs, and vegetable oil.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Drizzle 1/2 cup caramel topping evenly over the batter. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the caramel into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
  8. Once cooled, cut into squares and garnish each serving with extra chopped pecans and caramel topping. Serve and enjoy!
