MMMMM turtle anything is so good! this cake looks so easy to make and so delicious!
It’s hard to go wrong with caramel, chocolate and cake. So good!
I love anything chocolate and caramel, so this cake sounds incredible! I love the idea of using the caramel bits instead of caramels. I bet it melts so much faster.
