Turtle Pudding
1 21.5 ounce package brownie mix
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
13 caramel candies, unwrapped
whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Place a vegetable steamer or other low rack on the bottom of a 5 quart
electric slow cooker. Pour in 4 cups hot tap water and turn on the high heat
setting. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, oil and egg. Beat
to mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Butter and dust with
sugar a 2.5 quart souffle dish that fits in the 5 quart slow cooker. Turn
the brownie mixture into the dish. Push the caramels partially into the top,
but do not cover completely with the brownie mixture. Wrap the dish in a
double thickness of foil. Tie with kitchen string to resemble a package for
ease in lowering into the pot and removing. Place on the rack in the slow
cooker. Cover and cook on the high heat setting for 4.5 hours. Remove the
dish from the slow cooker, uncover and let

for 30 minutes. Serve warm
with whipped cream or ice cream.
