50 light caramels (one 14-ounce package)
2/3 c sweetened condensed milk, divided
1 pkg (15.5 ounces) German chocolate cake mix
3/4 c margarine, melted
1 c chopped nuts
1 c (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate bits
In double boiler, melt caramels and one third cup of the condensed milk over hot water; set aside and keep warm.
In large bowl, combine cake mix , margarine, nuts and remaining 1/3 c sweetened condensed milk. Mix until combined and crumbly. Press half of the dough evenly into a greased and floured 9 by 13 baking pan; bake at 350 degrees about 6 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool slightly . Sprinkle chocolate bits evenly over baked dough and spread melted caramel mixture on top, working quickly with broad spatula.
Crumble remaining half of dough over caramels and press lightly with a spoon. Return to oven and bake at 350 degrees 14 to 18 minutes, until top is set and mixture pulls away from sides of the pan . Cool pan on wire rack about 30 minutes, then refrigerate until firm. Cut into small squares.
Makes about 24 brownies.
