TIPS FOR MAKING THESE EASY CARAMEL BROWNIES:

  • Use any chocolate cake mix you enjoy. I like Devil’s Food flavor but any chocolate flavor will work.
  • If you don’t eat them all right away, make sure to store the leftovers in the refrigerator. They’ll keep for about 3 days,
  • These brownies can be stored in the freezer, in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

HOW TO MAKE KNOCK YOU NAKED BROWNIES:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9″x 13″ baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Note: stick with me in the directions here so you get everything layered the proper way. I promise this isn’t hard but we do have a few steps to get through first. In a medium bowl, combine cake mix, 1 cup evaporated milk and melted butter. Mix until combined (batter will be thick.)

Spread HALF of the batter into the baking pan (we’ll use that other half later.)

Put baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. While it is baking, start making your caramel filling. In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, combine caramels with 1/3 cup evaporated milk.

When brownie bottom is finished baking (it will only be partially baked), take out of oven and sprinkle with 2 cups chocolate chips.

Take the rest of the cake batter and drop by the teaspoonful onto caramel layer.

No need to be neat about spreading it out. If you want you can take your spoon and gently cover any big gaps in the topping but most of it will spread while baking.
