Okay, so if you are against using boxed cake mixes, please don’t look any further. But as for me, every once in a while, I think they work and so incredibly useful. In this recipe for instance, I use a boxed German Chocolate Cake mix and let me tell you, these are the best brownies ever! The chocolate and chewy caramel blend together effortlessly and end in a simply indulgent dessert. Yum! I had these at my Aunt’s house years ago and I’ve been making them ever since. They are my go to brownie and I crave them all the time. So simple, yet so delicious!
Chocolate Caramel Brownies
1 box German Chocolate Cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 bag wrapped caramels (50 individually wrapped caramels
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1. Mix together the cake mix, melted butter and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Mix until well incorporated, it will be thick. Press half of batter into a 9×13 inch greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes.
2. While batter is baking, melt caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a saucepan until creamy. When brownies are done, poor caramel on top of the cooked portion of brownies. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of caramel. Dot the remaining brownie mix on top of chips and caramel. Return to oven and bake for another 11 minutes. Cool in refrigerator for about 2 hours.
OH MY GOSH! Those are my favorite brownies EVER. I used to make those all the time when I was in high school and college. I can’t easily find German chocolate cake mix on the East Coast, so I stopped making them. Then I lost the recipe….
YUMMMM. I hope everyone makes these. They are to die for!
Chocolate and chewy caramel and you know you’ve got a winner! They look great Steph!
I wonder if they’d taste as good with just a chocolate cake mix?
I have a box in my pantry already, I think I’ll give it a shot.
These are my go-tos as well. They are AMAZING. So glad that others are enjoying.
These look so chewy and yummy. Gotta love a cake mix once in a while!
You know I don’t have a problem with the handy cake mix! These look terrific Steph!
UH…YEAH…I’m going to have to try those!
I usually never make things from a mix but maybe I should! These look great and brownies are my weakness!
I am all about the box and any other way that I can save time and still make killer yummies for my gang. This looks great.

My grandma used to make these and they were my FAVORITE growing up. YUM!

Those look great – I just made a tray of goodies for my son’s teachers and staff at the school and one of the things I did was make a german chocolate bar with a mix – coconut, condensed milk, etc. they all raved about how incredible they were. I have to try these. Thanks.

Oh yum…but I HATE unwrapping all of the candies!!
Ohhhhh Steph that is an absolute perfect picture and an even more perfect recipe. How did they taste? No, don’t tell me.
I love German chocolate – those look so yummy.
What a great looking brownie!
i love these! i found a very similar recipe on verybestbaking.com and fell in love w/these!
Augh, I wish I had found this recipe before last Tuesday night. Our Relief Society had a chocolate night. I would have made these hands down.. Although I think one of the sisters brought something very similar to this, and it was so decadent. I will still try it.
I made this recipe to take to a friend’s house for a get-together. They were a big hit! I was told not to lose the recipe because “it was a keeper”! Thank you so much for sharing it!
I know that this is an older recipe of yours, but I just wanted to say that I recently made this for a potluck and it was a HUGE hit and delicious! Thank you! : )
Try freezing them then eat em!!!!! So good!
Oh my, I remember sneaking these from my grandmother’s house!! I never got the recipe, so THANK YOU very much!!!!
