  9. In a small saucepan, melt 1 (14 ounce) can of caramels, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup of milk over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  10. Evenly pour the caramel mixture over the partially baked cake in the pan.
  11. Sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts evenly over the caramel layer.
  12. Pour the remaining cake batter evenly over the chocolate chip/walnut/caramel mixture.
  13. Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 20 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
