Cookie Brownies

Brownie-cake batter layered with caramel and Keebler striped cookies!

These beauties are rich and DECADANT. Creamy, chewy, and crunchy all at the same time. We cheat by using store-bought German chocolate cake mix and evaporated milk for extra creaminess. They are a sure to be a favorite!

Ingredients

• 1 box German chocolate cake mix
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 package Keebler Striped cookies
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 10 oz package of Werther caramels, unwrapped this takes some patience, I promise it is worth it.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350℉
2. Grease a 9″ x 13″ glass baking dish.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix.
4. 1/3 cup of evaporated milk and melted butter.
5. Split the mix in half. Press half of the mix into the baking dish. It will feel like dough.  
6. Bake for 8 minutes.
7. Melt the caramels and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk together in a microwave safe bowl in 1 minute intervals. Stiring in between. You can also over a double broiler.
8. Once the caramel is melted and smooth, pour over the baked brownie. Smooth to the edges.
9. Then layer the cookies. Cut in half if need be to fit to the edges.
10. Chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator or until the caramel is hard.
11. Cover the other half of the cake mix while the rest is chilling.
12. Once the caramel is hard, top with the remaining cake mix and spread evenly over the caramel layer. It can be a bit hard to do but just take your time and work with it.
13. Bake the brownies for 30 minutes.
14. Let them cool for 10 minutes.
15. Cut and ENJOY!
