Ingredients

50 Kraft caramels
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 box German chocolate cake mix
1/3 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup butter melted
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.
Place caramels in a medium saucepan with 1/3 a cup of evaporated milk. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously, until caramels are completely melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, 1/3 cup of evaporated milk, melted butter and nuts.
Spread half the mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crust. Pour the caramel mixture on top and then scatter the remaining cake mixture evenly on top of the caramel.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. It will still look underdone in the middle but as the caramel cools, it will firm up. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
