Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 15.25 oz package German chocolate cake mix
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 30 Kraft caramels, unwrapped
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix german chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and 3 ounces evaporated milk until a thick batter evolves.
  • Add about 2/3 of the batter to a brownie pan (9"x13" is ideal) and press until evenly distributed.
  • Cook in oven for 7 minutes.
  • Melt the 30 caramels and the remaining 3 ounces of evaporated milk on medium-low heat. Stir continuously for about 10 minutes.(Remember to take your brownies out after 7 minutes, letting them cool until the caramel sauce is finished)
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce on top of the cooked brownies. Then sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped nuts on top of the caramel sauce.
  • Add the rest of the uncooked brownie batter in patches or crumbles on top of the chocolate, nuts, and caramel. It doesn't have to be pretty.  You don't want to over it all either. Leave some space open so that the caramel, nuts,and chocolate can peek through.
  • Add the brownies back to the oven for another 8-9 minutes, or until brownies are puffy on the top.
