Caramel Brownies

These brownies are to die for  — ooey, gooey, and delicious!  These have become my go-to recipe when we are invited to a friend’s house for dinner.  They are always a hit — with kids and adults alike – and seem fancy but the recipe is actually very simple.

Tonight, we’re going to our friends, the Cetwinskis.  I hope that Jen doesn’t mind that I mangled the pan of brownies before bringing it over so I could take a picture of one.  And I did actually eat that bite that’s on the fork.  The caramel was still warm and extra mmm!

This recipe originated from Mike’s Aunt Cindy.  She made these for a family get together several years ago and they’ve been one of our favorites ever since!

  • 1 package German Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1 12 oz. Bag of Semi-Sweet Morsels
  • 1 stick butter

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter. Blend dry cake mix, butter and ⅓ cup of evaporated milk in a medium size bowl with a spatula. Take ¾ of the batter and press into a 9 ½ by 13 pan sprayed with Pam or greased. Bake 6 minutes. While baking, melt the caramels and the other ⅓ cup evaporated milk.
