German Chocolate Caramel Brownies

This brownie recipe is one that is made like a bar cookie in three layers. Several years ago I made this brownie as a dessert for my daughter's rehearsal dinner before her wedding. These German Chocolate Caramel Brownies were also on my dessert table for Thanksgiving this year.



German Chocolate Caramel Brownies
1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup evaporated milk, divided
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (11 ounce) bag Kraft caramel bits
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring. In a medium bowl, mix cake mix, melted butter, and 1/3 cup evaporated milk until well blended; add pecans.  Press 1/2 of this mixture into prepared baking pan; bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Melt caramel bits and remaining 1/3 cup of evaporated milk in double boiler or microwave oven. Spread over cake layer, then sprinkle chocolate chips over caramel layer. Crumble remaining cake mixture on top of chocolate chips; press lightly. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.



German chocolate cake mix, caramel bits, evaporated milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips are some of the ingredients in these brownies.



Press 1/2 of the cake mixture into the prepared pan.


Spread the melted caramel layer over the baked cake layer.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel layer.


Crumble the remaining cake mixture over the chocolate chips.


Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Cool brownies in pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.


The melted caramel and chocolate chips in the center between the two layers of German chocolate cake are wonderful!

  3. I make these, too, Anita!! Aren't they the best??!! I haven't tried the caramel bits, yet, however. That will make it SO much easier than all that unwrapping!
