Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box German chocolate cake mix
  • Add: 1½ sticks butter, melted
  • ½ cup evaporated milk

Filling

  • 14 oz (48) caramels
  • 3 cups evaporated milk
  • ½ stick butter
  • 12 oz pkg chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

Preheat oven 350°

  1. Mix cake according to package directions, adding the melted butter and evaporated milk.
  2. Add caramels, evaporated milk, and butter to a saucepan over low heat. Caramel mixture is ready when caramels are melted and all liquid  is combined.
  3. Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for only 8 min. It will be gooey and soft.
  4. After the 8 minute bake, remove cake from the oven and pour melted caramel mixture over the warm cake. Sprinkle it with chocolate chips and nuts. IMPORTANT: DO NOT MIX.
  5. Pour the other half of the cake batter over the filling and return to the oven for 25 min. Increase temperature to 370°.
  6. Frost with chocolate frosting if desired or serve with whipped cream. (It is so rich it really doesn't need frosting.)
