Ingredients:
- 1 box (432g) German chocolate cake mix
- 2 bags (11 oz each or 312g) caramels, unwrapped
- 1 cup (113g) pecans, chopped
- 1/3 cup (80ml) plus 1/2 cup (120ml) evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (85g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour a 9×9-inch (23x23cm) baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix and 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk. Add the melted butter and chopped pecans and mix until well combined.
- Divide the dough in half and press one half into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until just slightly set. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, add the caramels and remaining evaporated milk to a double boiler. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the caramels have melted and the mixture is totally smooth. Pour the caramel mixture over the first brownie layer, making sure it’s evenly spread out. Top with the chocolate chips.
- On a piece of parchment or wax paper, press the remaining dough into a square that’s slightly smaller than the baking pan. Set on top of the chocolate chip layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, then let the brownies come to room temperature. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours to set the caramel layer.
- Dust liberally with powdered sugar, if using, and slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes:
- For an extra decadent treat, serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
- To make the recipe even easier, you can use store-bought caramel sauce instead of melting caramels.
- If you’re short on time, you can skip the chilling step and serve the brown
