How to Make Killer Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate fudge cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1/2 of a 12 oz can evaporated milk. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press one-half to two-thirds of the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. While the brownies bake, unwrap 14 oz of caramels and melt them in a saucepan over medium-low heat with the remaining 1/2 of the 12 oz can evaporated milk, stirring frequently until smooth.
  6. Remove the brownies from the oven and sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  7. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the chocolate chips.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer.
  9. Bake for an additional 13-15 minutes, or until the brownies are set and the topping is lightly golden brown.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
