Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake batter)
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- Optional: sea salt flakes for sprinkling on top
How to Make Gooey Chocolate Caramel Turtle Cake Bars
- Prepare the batter:
Follow the instructions on your chocolate cake mix box (or use your favorite chocolate cake recipe) to prepare the batter. - Layer the bars:
Pour half of the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan, spreading it evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then sprinkle half of the toasted nuts and chocolate chips. - Add remaining batter and toppings:
Spoon the remaining cake batter over the caramel and nuts layer, smoothing gently. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top and sprinkle the rest of the nuts and chocolate chips evenly. - Bake:
Bake according to the cake mix instructions (usually around 25–30 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. - Cool and serve:
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For extra flair, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top to enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
