Ingredients:
14 ounces caramels, wrappers removed
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 (18 1/4 ounce) boxes German chocolate cake mix
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (optional)
Directions:
Mix (by hand) cake mix with 1/4 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup melted butter; add nuts if using.
Batter will be stiff.
Press half of batter into bottom of 9 x 13-inch pan. I use wax paper and a small rolling pin to make this process easier.
Bake at 350F for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt caramels with 1/2 cup evaporated milk in microwave or in double boiler.
Remove bottom layer from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips, then drizzle with caramel.
Top with remaining batter by rubbing batter between fingers and dropping evenly (will not cover completely).
Bake 18- 20 minutes.
Let cool before cutting.
