Pecan Mixture

Cake Topping

  • 1 box Butter Pecan Cake Mix if you can't find it, use White Cake Mix

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Spray 13x9 pan with baking spray.

Pecan Mixture

  • Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl, add brown sugar, salted caramel topping, caramel topping, and melted butter and stir until well combined.
  • Fold the pecan into mixture and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Spread out evenly.

Cake Topping
