Description

These German chocolate bars with caramel are just like German chocolate cake, but you can eat them with your hands!

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2 Place caramels and 1/3 cup condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until caramels melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Set aside.
3 Combine cake mix, melted butter, and 1/2 cup condensed milk in a large bowl; stir well. Pour 1/2 the batter into the prepared pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes.
5 Remove cake from oven; cover with caramel mixture, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Pour remaining batter on top. Bake 10 minutes more.
