Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
-
In a mixing bowl, blend together the yellow cake mix, a stick of butter (softened), and 1/3 cup of evaporated milk. The mixture should be crumbly yet moist.
-
Press half of this crumbly mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13-inch baking pan. Use your fingertips or the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. This will partially set the base and give it a head start on baking.
-
While the crust bakes, unwrap the caramels and combine them with the remaining 1/3 cup of evaporated milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave this mixture on medium power, stirring every 2 minutes, until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Remove the partially baked crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. It should still be warm to the touch but not hot.
-
Pour the melted caramel mixture evenly over the warm crust. The warmth of the crust will help spread the caramel into an even layer.
-
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel layer, followed by the chopped nuts if you’re using them. The warmth of the caramel will slightly melt the chocolate, creating a luscious layer of gooey goodness.
-
Allow the caramel-chocolate-nut layer to cool for about 8-10 minutes. This will help everything set slightly and make the next step easier.
-
Now comes the fun part! Take small spoonfuls of the remaining cake mixture and carefully place them over the chocolate-nut layer. Don’t worry about making it perfectβthis layer is meant to be rustic and delightful.
-
Gently spread the spoonfuls of cake mixture as best as you can over the chocolate chips and nuts. The heat from the layers below will help soften the cake mixture, making it easier to spread.
-
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
-
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will allow the layers to set and become firm.
-
When completely cool, use a sharp knife to cut the Double Sin Squares into neat, bite-sized pieces. The contrast of the cake-like layer, gooey caramel, and rich chocolate chips will have everyone reaching for seconds!
-
Serve these indulgent treats on a platter and watch them disappear in no time. They’re perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a sweet treat for yourself!
-
Enjoy these Double Sin Squares with a glass of cold milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or simply on their own. However you choose to indulge, these bars are sure to satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more!
Now, go ahead and whip up a batch of these heavenly Double Sin Squares. Your taste buds will thank you! πβ¨
