1 package German chocolate cake mix (18.5 oz)
1 cup chopped nuts
1/3 cup + 1/2 cup evaporated milk-divided
1/2 cup melted butter
60 vanilla caramels unwrapped (one 14 oz package)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, nuts, 1/3 cup evaporated milk and melted butter. Press half of the batter into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for eight minutes.
In the microwave or top of a double boiler melt caramels with remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk. When caramel mixture is well mixed, pour over baked layer. Cover with chocolate chips. Chill for about an hour or until the caramel is hard. Press the remaining batter on top of morsels. Return to oven and bake 28 minutes (or less for gooier brownies). Let cool before cutting.
Note: This recipe supposedly originated at the Salt Creek Restaraunt in Breckenridge, Colorado.

Would make this again.
Love the taste but how the heck do you spread 1/2 the batter into a 9x13?? Only to get a very, very thin layer... Can someone comment on this?
I put mine into a 8x8 and reduced the caramels to accomodate..
Again, love the end result but a 9x13? Very frustrating..

You have to adjust the caramel portion of the recipe so they aren't too goopy. It was good.

I would definately make this again. I just tried it out today because I plan on making it for our family christmas eve party and it's so easy...and there are a lot of things my 3 year old can help with.

I followed the steps exactly and came out with a pan full of chocolate-y, caramel goop.
delicious goop, but definitely not presentable.

I've been making this brownie for years...but with one twist, I much prefer a substitution of white chocolate chips for the semi-sweet. Try this, sprinkle half of the pan with white and the other half with semi-sweet, it's a yummy experiment :)
