CARAMEL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
• Melt the caramel and 1/3 cup evaporated milk and stir in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and incorporated.
• In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, melted butter and flour. Press half of the mix into the 9x13 inch dish and bake for 6 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips.
• Pour the caramel on top of the chocolate chips.
• Top with the remaining brownie batter on the top of the caramel and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool completely so that the caramel can set. I also find that if you let it cool and place in the fridge it helps to set up right before cutting.

CARAMEL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom of 8-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box for cakelike brownies. Spread in pan. In small bowl, combine nuts and chocolate chips; sprinkle half of mixture over batter in pan. Set remaining nut mixture aside.
• Bake 35 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Meanwhile, place caramels and milk in small microwavable bowl, microwave uncovered on High 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds until caramels are melted.
• After removing pan from oven, immediately spoon caramel mixture over brownie; sprinkle with remaining nut mixture. Return to oven and bake an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until caramel is bubbly around edge of brownie. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 2 hours. Before cutting, run knife around edge of pan to loosen. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.
