Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake batter. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can substitute the nuts with crushed graham crackers for added texture. You can also use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer taste. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cake mix from other recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the brownies a day in advance. Just store them in an airtight container once cooled. If you plan to serve them later, consider reheating them slightly for that fresh-baked taste before serving.
What can I substitute for sweetened condensed milk?
If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make a quick substitute by combining 1 cup of milk with 1 cup of sugar, heating it gently until dissolved, and then letting it cool. This works well in the caramel layer.
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Yes, you can definitely use a different flavor of cake mix such as vanilla or even a spice cake mix for a unique twist. Just ensure that the flavors will complement the chocolate and caramel layers in the brownies.
