Many of you have a recipe for this Turtle Cake. It’s always a favorite at church suppers or company dinners. The gooey caramel, pecan, chocolate chip center puts it in that “to die for” category of desserts. In our house, though, because of the pecans this would be an “adults only” dessert. Good thing it freezes great! I freeze the individual pieces in rigid freezer containers. This isn’t the type of dessert that you want to be spooning out of a bag?. Warm it up right in the container and dig in!

Comments:
Nanci’s note: I like to use Ziploc’s or Glad’s freezer containers for this type of dessert. They can be frozen individually, taken in lunches or grabbed for an after dinner dessert.
