Game Day Caramel Brownies

In a bowl, combine cake mix, butter, and evaporated milk. Stir by hand until dough holds together.

Press half the dough into a greased 8×8 inch pan. Bake at 350ºF for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit a minute or two.

Spread warmed caramel fruit dip over the baked brownie layer and then sprinkle on chocolate chips. Add remaining brownie batter on top. Sometimes this is easiest to do by pressing the batter onto a piece of parchment paper in the approximate size of your baking dish. Then gently place the formed batter layer onto caramel/chocolate chip layer in pan.

Bake an additional 20 minutes. Do not overbake. The top dough may appear that it is not thoroughly cooked, but once it cools, it will be soft and chewy.

Notes:
• You can also make a thinner brownie by baking in a 9×13 inch pan. Follow the same directions, but cook for 6–8 minutes in the initial bake then an additional 15–18 minutes in the second bake.
• You may also choose to add up to 1 cup of chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
