Caramel and chocolate .. two tasty sweets just made to go together!

Here’s a yummmmy recipe for at home snacking (a.k.a. dessert, right?), or to take to a gathering. Either way, it’s a hit!

1 package (approx. 48) caramels
2/3 c. evaporated milk, divided
1 package dry German chocolate cake mix
1/2 c. margarine, melted
1 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

Part 1
1. Melt caramels and 1/3 c. evaporated milk together.
2. Set aside.
3. Mix cake mix, margarine and remaining 1/3 c. evaporated milk together.
4. Spread half of cake mix mixture in 9-by-13-inch pan.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Part 2
1. Remove from oven.
2. Pour caramel mixture over the top.
3. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts.
4. Top with remaining cake mixture.
5. It works best to drop the mixture, flatten slightly with fingers and lay it on the top as desired.
6. Return pan to oven and bake for 20 more minutes.
7. Cool completely and cut.
8. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

Ideas:
Top with homemade whipped cream especially while still warm - super yummmmy!

Enjoy!
