Cooking Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with 1/4 cup of evaporated milk and 1/2 cup of melted butter. If using, add nuts to the mixture. Mix everything together by hand until well combined. The batter will be stiff.
-
Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan by lining it with wax paper. This will make it easier to remove the brownies later. Alternatively, you can grease the pan lightly.
-
Press half of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. You can use wax paper and a small rolling pin to make this process easier and ensure an even layer.
-
Bake the bottom layer in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. This will partially cook the base and set it up for the next steps.
-
While the bottom layer is baking, melt the caramels with 1/2 cup of evaporated milk either in the microwave or using a double boiler. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the partially baked layer with chocolate chips. Then, drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the chocolate chips.
-
Carefully distribute the remaining batter over the caramel and chocolate chip layer. You can do this by rubbing the batter between your fingers and dropping it evenly. Note that the batter may not completely cover the top layer, and that’s okay.
-
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 18 to 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting into squares. This will allow the brownies to set and make them easier to slice neatly.
-
