This is my grandma’s recipe. These brownies are crazy delicious and worth the trouble, but they are a bit of a pain. Here’s what you’ll need: one 14 oz pkg of caramels, 1 German chocolate cake mix, 1 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional), 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
Melt caramels and 1/2 cup evap. milk in small pan over low heat, stirring frequently.
Combine cake mix, butter, 1/2 c evap. milk and nuts (if using). Stir until mixture holds together.
Press one half of that dough into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake at 350 for 6 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle the choc. chips and marshmallows (if using) on top. Pour the warm caramel sauce on top of this. Next add the remaining dough. This is the tricky part. Flatten the dough in pieces in your hands and lay flat on top. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate when cool to set the caramel. Cut into squares and enjoy!
