"Thanks to a dinner party my parents had when I was a child.......20 years later and a adult, these are still some of my favorites. The combination of cake mix, chocolate, buttery carmel and nuts....man oh man...Delicious!! Though there are several steps to this recipe, it's worth the time and effort, you won't be sorry."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm always on the look out for new tried and true recipes and love to share the recipes that I enjoy making. Growing up as a child my mom taught me how to cook/bake and I later entered food competitions at our local fair. I hope to some day share my love of cooking with my children. I love to cook casseroles..I'm not a huge fan of meat but will toss it in casseroles for my meat and potato husband. :)
