The origin of this recipe is unclear, as it has been copied, rewritten, and passed from person to person over the years. A good guess would be that it was found on the back of a Pillsbury cake mix box, as it mentions the brand name – although any brand of German chocolate cake mix can be used.
Chocolate Caramel Brownies Recipe
Ingredients for Chocolate Caramel Brownies:
- 50 bite-sized caramel candies
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk (divided)
- 1 German chocolate cake mix
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Directions for making Chocolate Caramel Brownies:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
In a saucepan, combine the caramel candies and 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Stirring constantly, cook over low heat until the caramels are melted – keep warm and set aside.
In large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix powder, the melted butter, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and chopped pecans (if using).
Spread ½ of the dough in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 6 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from the oven, while still warm, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the baked crust, and drizzle the caramel mixture over the chocolate. Crumble the remaining ½ of the dough over the caramel (note that it will spread a little when baking). Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Cool before cutting into squares.
