Crazy Awesome Caramel Brownies

Oh, and they are pretty easy too. Ingredients are in BLUE and directions are in GREEN.

For the Dough:
1 German Chocolate Cake Mix (I've tried other chocolate kinds, German really is best in this recipe.)
3/4 Cup melted Butter (that is 1 & 1/2 cubes)
1/3 Cup Evaporated Milk

Mix three ingredients together. It will be kind of like cookie dough consistency.

For the Caramel sauce:
1 Bag Caramels
1/3 Cup Evaporated Milk

Heat together the two ingredients in a sauce pan over low heat until melted, stirring well.

For the middle:
Chocolate chips, nuts, coconut or whatever strikes your fancy.

In a 9x13 pan (or a brownie pan, but no smaller.) spread out half of the dough.
Bake just that for 8 minutes at 350 F.
Take it out, drizzle caramel mixture over the top (it will make it puff up a bit) and then sprinkle the toppings over the caramel.
Then glop the rest of the dough on to the top of the caramel like dumplings or a cobbler. It won't cover it completely. That's ok.
Bake for another 15 minutes and then let cool completely. I keep them in the fridge. They are best when set, so be patient!
