Made this for husband, and it was well appreciated. Used a bit more caramel, and would suggest getting it cold before putting the pie topping in, so it doesn't ooze around so much. Used pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon/nutmeg. I skipped the whipped cream on top and just drizzled more caramel and put some pecans and chocolate chips on top. Gotta have chocolate in the turtle! :)
