   • Peel the paper off the caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
   • Stir in 1/2 cup of evaporated milk.
   • Heat and stir until all the caramels are melted, creating a luscious caramel sauce.

2. Preheat and Prepare:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan, ensuring easy release of your brownies.

3. Mix the Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, 1/3 cup of evaporated milk, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Stir until well mixed and smooth.

4. Bake the First Layer:

   • Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
   • Bake for 8 minutes to partially set the bottom layer.

5. Layering:

   • While the first layer is baking, place the remaining batter in the refrigerator to keep it cool.
   • After 8 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the partially baked layer.
   • Drizzle the prepared caramel sauce generously over the chocolate chips, creating a deliciously gooey layer of caramel.

6. Add the Final Layer:

   • Retrieve the remaining batter from the refrigerator.
   • Using a teaspoon, scoop small balls of the batter and flatten them slightly between your palms.
   • Carefully place these flattened batter pieces on top of the caramel sauce, ensuring the surface is completely covered.

7. Finish Baking:

   • Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are lightly golden.

8. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
   • Once cooled slightly, cut into bars and serve. These brownies are best enjoyed warm, with the chocolate and caramel still delightfully gooey.
