Turtle Cake

Mix up a chocolate cake batter.  Put 1/2 of the batter in a 9x13" pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Melt 1 pkg carmels; stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk, and 3/4 cup butter.  When smooth, pour onto the partially baked cake.  Add a layer of chocolate chips (1 to 2 cups), and 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans are recommended). 

Top with the rest of the cake batter and bake 20-25 minutes more, until done.  Sometimes hard to tell when it is done, but be careful not to burn the bottom layer.

(Can be made without the nuts but some of us like the nuts!  Or make half with nuts and half without.)
