The "GOOD" Brownies

This recipe qualifies neither as cheap nor healthy.. but it is dubbed (around my house anyway) the "good" brownies. They are super rich. It's almost a must to eat these with a glass of milk standing by. We don't have these very often, but a friend of mine gave me some caramels so I had to make these little devils since they are my boys (meaning my husband and son) absolute favorite treat!

Caramel Fudge Brownies

10.5 oz caramels (3/4 of a 14oz bag)
1 can sweetened condensed milk, divided
1 German Chocolate cake mix
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup chopped nuts
6 oz chocolate chips (half of a 12 oz bag)

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Combine caramels with 1/2 can of condensed milk over very low heat until caramels are melted and smooth. Meanwhile, Mix cake mix with butter and other half of condensed milk until mixture is soft and holds together. Press half of this mixture into a 9x13 in. greased baking dish, reserving other half for later. Bake until slightly set- for 6 minutes; remove from oven. Pour caramel mixture over set cake mix. Sprinkle nuts and chocolate chips over caramel and top with remaining 1/2 of cake mixture. Don't worry if all the caramel is not covered, just get it as even as possible-the cake mixture will spread as it bakes. Bake 18 minutes at 350 F. Cool before cutting into bars.
*I had extra nuts and chocolate chips, so I sprinkled some on top of the bars before baking as well.
