These German chocolatey brownies that are made with boxed cake, caramel, nuts, and chocolate chips!
The beauties is rich and DECADANT. I love to make them for special occasions and for Christmas treats. They are a crowd pleaser and the ultimate brownie for brownie lovers! The best part is that the cake mix is store-bought and saves time on some of the prep. I like to use evaporated milk for extra creaminess.
We will build this treat in layers. Brownie batter, caramel, chocolate chips, and topped with remaining batter.
Just look at that filling. Yummy. Let’s get started!
