Chocolate Turtle Cake

This cake is pretty messy to cut, but worth the effort
1 German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 can Sweetened condensed milk
1 cube butter
1 pkg. caramels (about 30)
1/2 c. chopped pecans
6 oz. chocolate chips
Prepare cake batter according to package directions.
Pour 1/2 of batter into prepared 9X13" baking pan and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the condensed milk, cubber and caramels in a medium saucepan over medium heat until caramels and butter are melted and texture is smooth. After cake is out of the oven, pour caramel mixture over the top, sprinkle with nuts and chocolate chips. Pour remaining batter over the cake, spreading evenly. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes at 350.
