How to Make Chocolate Cake Caramel Bars

  1. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter and 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
  2. In a separate large bowl, combine 1 (15.25 ounce) box of chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, softened, and 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Do not mix the 1 cup of chocolate chips into the cake batter yet.
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 6 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  6. Sprinkle the 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the partially baked cake layer.
  7. Pour the melted butter and condensed milk mixture (caramel) over the chocolate chips.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cake batter over the caramel layer.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for an additional 18 minutes. Let cool completely for at least 20 minutes before cutting into bars.
