How to Make Gooey Caramel Fudge Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Mix until well combined.
  3. Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 6 minutes.
  5. While the crust bakes, melt 14 oz caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  6. Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Sprinkle 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
  7. Drizzle the melted caramel over the chocolate chips.
  8. Drop the remaining batter over the caramel layer.
  9. Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the caramel to set completely. Cut into bars and enjoy!
