Easy Caramel Brownies

Ashlynne Armstrong

These are a crowd pleaser and so simple to make. I like to keep the ingredients on hand so if I need to whip up a treat quick I can make these. I prefer them cold so I refrigerate them, but they are delicious no matter what.  

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

INGREDIENTS
Brownie mixture
1 box German chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup canned milk
1 cup chocolate chips (I prefer milk chocolate)
Caramel mixture
35 caramels (I use Kraft wrapped candies found in the candy aisle, I do not like the unwrapped chips they have)
1/3 cup canned (evaporated) milk (I have used regular milk before and they turn out fine)

DIRECTIONS
Caramel mixture- 
Unwrap caramels and melt in a sauce pan with 1/3 cup canned milk
Stir constantly until melted so you can poor the mixture on top of the brownie base
Brownie mixture- 
Combine cake mix (only the cake mix, DO NOT follow the directions on the box), butter, and 1/3 cup canned milk.
Press 1/2 the dough in the bottom of a 9x13 pan and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and top with chocolate chips and caramel mixture.
Crumble the other 1/2 of the dough on top.  I have to press the dough in my hand and then lay it on top of the caramel chocolate chip mixture.  Leaving small gaps is okay but try and cover as much of the caramel and chocolate as possible.  
Bake for another 19-20 minutes.
