Anyone do this?
I suppose I could just try it....how bad could it be, right?
 
I've used them - but only when I was making Pineapple Upside Down Cake, or Harvest Apple Skillet Cake.

Don't know why it wouldn't work - the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake is just a chocolate cake mix.
 
I don't see why it wouldn't work. You could add some butter w/caramel or cinnamon sprinkles to pan 1st to make a glaze when it is done.
