Preparation Time20 min
Chilling Time30 min
Cooking MethodOven
Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce) boxes of German Chocolate Cake Mix
- 2 cups finely chopped walnuts
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 100 caramels, unwrapped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon heavy cream
- 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (enough to generously cover the top)
Ingredients
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Heavily grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
-
In a large bowl mix the cake mixes, chopped walnuts, 2/3 cup evaporated milk, and melted butter until totally combined.
-
Press half of the mixture into the baking pan.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Take out of the oven.
-
Microwave the caramels with the heavy cream on High for 5-6 minutes, stirring every 1 minute. Continue to microwave until mixture is completely melted.
-
Pour caramel over brownie base. Sprinkle the sea salt over the caramel layer.
-
Sprinkle chocolate chips over caramel.
-
Carefully form remainder of the brownie dough to fit on top of the caramel base. If dough base begins to soften and is too hard to move in one piece, divide dough in sections and place over caramel layer.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
-
Cool and refrigerate overnight.
-
Sift the confectioners sugar over the top of the brownies.
-
Carefully remove from the pan and cut into desired size brownies.
Notes
-
If you do not like unwrapping 100 caramels you can use products such as Kraft caramel bits. Combine 4 cups caramel bits with 1cup heavy cream and microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the mixture is combined.

If you're a huge fan of brownies, you need to try this recipe! The mixture of caramel, chocolate, and nuts was a fantastic combination!

I'm not a huge fan of nuts in desserts, but that's more of a personal problem. But the caramel... oh my gosh. That made these brownies worth it.

The addition of a full caramel layer made these brownies insanely good. I also liked that they weren't too rich like some brownie recipes I have made.

This is the ultimate brownie recipe! Regular brownies are too much of a chocolate overload for me, but these were delicious with added caramel, nuts, and chocolate chunks. I'd let them set or chill for a few hours in the fridge. That way they hold together and aren't messy to eat.

These brownies really remind me of these brownies my college dorm used to serve. (I used to call them "Heart Attack Brownies" because of how much they had going on.) I liked those brownies, but I definitely prefer these. They have the perfect balance of chocolate brownie and caramel. The nuts were an added benefit. My only gripe was that the layers of these brownies kind of fell apart. In other words, the layer on top of the caramel slid off a bit while eating. But that's not a HUGE deal.

I'm not a huge fan of caramel, so these brownies weren't my personal favorite, but if you love the combination of chocolate and caramel, these are a must-try!

I love soft and gooey brownies! The caramel makes them even more gooey (gooey-er?) The nuts added some really great texture as well.

The caramel oozes out of these, so they are quite messy (but worth it). That combination of chocolate, caramel, and nuts is awesome.

I don't love caramel, but these brownies were amazing. The nuts were the best part.

I never thought of myself as a fan of brownies, but I think these just made me have a change of heart. Including caramel in brownies is a stroke of genius, and even the nuts (which I normally don't use in brownies) add a wonderful contrast of texture. The fact that this is an easy recipe certainly doesn't hurt. Simply delicious!

I LOVE brownies. These were good with the nuts and caramel, but I still prefer the original classic brownies.
