Caramel brownies

November 1, 2009

Mrs. 6 came across this recipe before meeting Mr. 6. Way back in the day, it included the ingredients for “special brownies”, and was usually consumed while tail-gating before a Red Rocks concert.

  • 1 (18.25 oz) package German chocolate cake mix
  • 3/4 cup melted  butter
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk, separated
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 13 oz individually wrapped caramels
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 9×13″ dish with oil.

Combine cake mix, butter, and 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Mix well and pour 2/3 of the batter into dish. Press pecans into batter and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool while unwrapping caramels.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the caramel and remaining evaporated milk. Stir until melted and smooth; pour over cooled cake mix.

Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of caramel and top with spoonfuls of remaining batter. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
