CHOCOLATE TURTLES

I love chocolate!  I love caramel!  I love pecans!  So a chocolate turtle is high on my list of culinary treats.

Every year the neighborhood kids come knocking on my door to sell me candy for one activity or another and I always buy a tin of turtles.  Once they are delivered a month or two later I find that only about 12 (if I am lucky) are in the tin. Up to $18.00 for a tin of 12 turtles!  Now I don’t mind spending the money, it is for the kids, but 12 turtles…that lasts about 24 hours if I am lucky.

Remembering the Holiday Baking

When I saw this recipe at Cooking.com, I was taken back to the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen during the holidays as a child.  Baked bread, cookies, pies, cakes and then the smell of Turkey and all the trimmings.  I get hungry just thinking about those smells.

My mother made a cake very similar to this only she used Pumpkin Pie spice in place of the spices listed.  She usually made it a couple of days before the holiday and kept in the refrigerator.  She took it out the night before to make sure it was a room temperature the next morning.
