This is one of my all time favorite brownie recipes which I got from my sister in law Laurie many years ago.  They are so yummy and gooey and so easy to make.  They are also good cold.

1 package caramels (this time for the first time I used those Kraft Caramel Bits which are just small balls of caramel not wrapped which was great because I didn’t have to spend 20 minutes unwrapping caramel squares and I can tell you because I’m eating a brownie right now that they taste just the same as the caramel squares)

1/3 cup evaporated milk

1 box German chocolate cake mix

3/4 cup melted butter

1/3 cup evaporated milk

1 cup nuts (walnuts of course!)

1 cup chocolate chips

Melt caramels with 1/3 cup evaporated milk.  Heat oven to 350.  Grease 9 x 13″ pan.  Mix cake mix, butter, 1/3 cup evaporated milk and nuts together.  Press 1/2 the batter in prepared pan and bake for 6 minutes.  Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips then drizzle with caramel over chocolate chips and then crumble remaining 1/2 of dough over top of caramel.  Bake 15 – 18 more minutes.  Cool before cutting.  Can be stored covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
