Ingredients

  • 15.25 Ounce Chocolate Cake Mix I used a devils food
  • 14 Ounce Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 12 Ounce Caramel Syrup
  • 8 Ounce Whipped Topping thawed
  • ½ Cup Pecans Chopped
  • ½ Cup Mini Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ Cup Caramel Syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉ spray a 9x13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray.

  2. Make the cake according to the recipe on the back of the box. Bake the cake according to the directions on the back of the box.

  3. In a mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup mix together the sweetened condensed milk and 12 ounces of caramel syrup. Set aside until the cake is fully baked.

  4. Once the cake is fully baked use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes over the surface of the cake. Making sure to only poke two-thirds of the way into the cake. I ended up with about 30 holes in my cake.

  5. Slowly pour the caramel and sweetened condensed milk mixture over the holes in the cake. Making sure to evenly distribute the sauce so each hole receives some.

  6. Place the cake into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the cake to cool some before the whipped topping is added.

  7. Cover the cooled cake with the thawed whipped topping. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Drizzle with a bit of chocolate and caramel syrup.

  8. Place the turtle poke cake in the refrigerator for at leaset 2 hours.
