How to Make Brownie Caramel Layer Bars

  1. Combine 14 oz caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a medium saucepan.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  5. Stir until the dough is well combined and holds together.
  6. Press half of the brownie dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 6 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the partially baked crust.
  8. Spread the melted caramel evenly over the chocolate chips.
  9. Gently press the remaining brownie dough over the caramel layer.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  12. Cut into small squares and serve with a glass of cold milk for the ultimate indulgence!
