Caramel Fjord Brownies

These Brownies were on the Brownie Babe of the Month over at Once upon a Tart. Myriam hosts a food-blog event for brownie recipes. There are so many amazing brownies to choose from. I saw The Left Over Queen Caramel Fjord Brownie and knew I had to try them, as I love caramel anything. I also sent in a recipe to the second event Black Forrest Brownies, they are very good brownies as well.

Caramel Fjord Brownies

Ingredients:

1 store bought German Chocolate Cake Mix (I used Devils Food Cake Mix for this one).
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 stick butter (1/2 cup) (melted)
1 cup chocolate chips ( I used semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips)
1 14 oz. package of caramels (you will need to unwrap 42 caramels)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Take the cake mix put it in a mixing bowl to this add melted butter and 1/3 cup of evaporated milk. Mix this together until smooth. If using nuts fold them into this mixture.
Grease a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Spread 1/3 of this mixture onto the bottom of the pan, smooth mixture to an even layer. Bake for 6 minutes. Take pan out of oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over warm bottom layer.

Melt the unwrapped caramels in the microwave with 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Then pour this mixture over the chocolate chips. Then use the remaining dough and crumble it over the caramel and chocolate chips.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Cool on baking rake completely. Then put them in frig. for 1 to 2 hours. Then you are able to cut and serve. Keep remaining brownies in fridge or you are able to freeze them.

I would highly recommend these brownies.
