caramel brownies!
this recipe was given to me from my mother
& today when i couldn't get ahold of her,
i searched on allrecipes.com to find the SAME exact recipe.
i do things differently than some of what the directions stated,
so i am changing them to my recommendation

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels
* 2/3 cup evaporated milk
* 1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
* 1/2 cup butter, melted
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

[ 1.] Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking dish.
[2.] Melt caramels and 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk over very low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
[ 3.] Combine cake mix, melted butter, the remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix well and spread 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan.
[4.] Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
[5.] Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the partially cooked brownies. Pour the desired amount of melted caramel mixture over the top. I usually use about 3/4 of the melted caramel because i think it is too gooey for what the recipe calls for. Lastly, using a spoon, evenly scoop small teaspoon drops of the remaining 1/2 of the batter evenly over the top. Then, with a spatula, flaten out the drops to cover as much of the top as you can. I always leave part of the caramel exposed between drops to let some of the caramel get crunchy.
[6.] Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Let brownies cool in pan then cut into bars (otherwise they are impossible to cut!)

ENJOY.
