Ingredients
Instructions
- Over medium heat, melt the caramels in 1/3 cup of evaporated milk.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the German chocolate cake mix, 1 stick of melted butter, and 1/3 cup of evaporated milk to form the batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Spread the melted caramel evenly over the batter.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips. If you don't have German chocolate cake mix, a regular chocolate or brownie mix can work as a substitute. Ensure the caramels are fully melted and smooth to achieve a nice drizzle over the brownies. Mixing in nuts can also add a delightful crunch to the dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these decadent brownies with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside Lu'S Special Zucchini for a unique flavor combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to restore their gooey texture. Enjoy them warm with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these brownies without caramels?
Yes, you can skip the caramels if you prefer a simpler chocolate chip brownie. Just increase the amount of chocolate chips to compensate for the missing flavor. Alternatively, you could use a caramel sauce as a drizzle on top after baking.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are done. Be careful not to overbake, as this can lead to dry brownies.
Can I freeze these brownies?
Absolutely! Allow the brownies to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying.
