I love to bake and almost everything I make is from scratch. But there are a couple things I’ll make using a cake mix, and this is one of them. Bring these to your next get together and you’ll be the hit of the party.
Kraft used to make a 14 oz. bag of caramels, but now they make an 11 oz. bag, so be sure to buy 2 bags if you use Kraft caramels.
- 50 caramels (14 oz.)
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk divided
- 1 box German chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
-
Combine the caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Set aside.
-
Put the cake mix, pecans, butter and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a bowl and stir to combine.
-
Press half of the dough into the pan. Bake for 6 minutes.
-
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the crust and then spread the caramel on top. Crumble the rest of the dough on top.
-
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Cool, then store in the refrigerator for several hours until firm.
