Description

A.k.a. “Killer Brownies,” these are scrumptious and chewy. I used to bribe my high school students into studying for their finals—an “A” grade meant a 2nd piece of brownie for a treat! (Otherwise, they only got one piece.)

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces, weight Caramels (preferably Brach's)
  • ⅔ cups Evaporated Milk, Divided
  • 1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix (Preferably The Moist Kind)
  • ¾ cups Margarine, Melted
  • 1 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Grease a 9×13 pan.

Combine caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a double boiler (or you can microwave them carefully, but don’t burn them!).

In another bowl, combine cake mix, margarine, remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and nuts. Stir until mixed. Press half of the dough into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Spread caramel mixture over the chips, then crumble the remaining half of the dough on top (or drop chunks on top). Put the pan back in oven for 15 to 20 more minutes.

I baked them tonight to bring to work tomorrow and share with my staff! But right now it’s sitting on the kitchen counter… Thinking should I have a bite. One bite won’t hurt but it will lead to another bite… One more bite won’t hurt…. One more. Okay last half… Before I know it’ll be gone! So none for me tonight! :)

I made these this past weekend and they were amazing. I went a step farther and covered them in chocolate ganache. Crazy good. I was a little concerned by the dough – I thought there was no way they were going to turn out right. But they cooked up great! Thanks for sharing this.

I made these brownies yesterday and I must say, they should be illegal! I cannot quit eating them and my husband and 7 year old rated them a 10! Then my son changed his mind and rated them as 100! We love them, thanks for sharing!

I would rate this 5 oven mittens times 20! I was one of the high school students Pat had. :)
