Ingredients

• 11 ounces (1 bag) soft caramel candy
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk (1 small 5-ounce can)
• 15 ounces (1 box) Devil's Food cake mix
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 12 ounces (1 bag) mini chocolate chips

Recipe Notes

• I use Kraft Caramels.

• You could use any chocolate flavor cake or brownie mix for this recipe.

• Store the brownies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. 

Here’s how you make it:

1. Melt caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk gently over low heat, or microwave for 3 minutes, stirring after every minute. (First minute you cannot really stir, but after the second minute they do start to melt).
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13x9-inch pan. (I actually used a nonstick aluminum foil and they come out of the pan easier.)
3. In large bowl, combine cake/brownie mix, remaining 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk and butter until blended. The batter will be stiff but you can get it blended. Press 2/3 of resulting cake/brownie mixture in bottom of pan. Bake for 6 minutes.
4. After removing baked cake/brownie mixture from oven, pour melted caramel mixture over it evenly. Cover with chocolate chips. Crumble remaining cake/brownie mixture on top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool well before cutting.
