Chewy Caramel Brownies (Warning: Highly Addictive)

I made these for Mom and Dad's farewell. The next weekend I was in town and made them again. We served them with bananas, vanilla ice cream, Grandma's chocolate sauce, homemade caramel sauce, whipped cream and toppings. They were more delicious than I had remembered.

25 - 40 caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup evaporated milk
Combine in saucepan and heat on low until caramels are melted. Let cool.

1 german chocolate cake mix (not Duncan Hines)
1/3 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1 cup chopped nuts (optional- I never add nuts but if you do-go for it)
Combine in mixing bowl. spread half mixture in ungreased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. Spread caramel mixture over baked cake mixture.

1 package milk chocolate chips
Sprinkle on top of carmel mixture. (Sometimes I think a whole package is a little much but according to your desire.) Drop reserved cake batter by spoonfuls onto brownies. Bake 20 minutes at 305 degrees.

Cool completely. Enjoy!
