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