Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, then line with parchment paper. This helps with easy removal after baking.
- In a large bowl, combine the German chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and evaporated milk until a dough forms. The mixture should be thick.
- Press HALF of the dough into the prepared baking pan and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside the remaining dough for later.
- In a small saucepan, combine the caramel bits and evaporated milk over low heat. Stir until smooth and melted, then remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the baked crust with chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Pour the melted caramel evenly over the top.
- Take the remaining dough and break it into small chunks. Drop them over the caramel and chocolate layer. The dough doesn’t need to cover completely.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set.
- (Optional) Once the bars are done, sprinkle more chocolate chips on top while still hot.
- Allow bars to cool completely before slicing (this allows the caramel to set). (Optional) Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
These bars are perfect for any occasion. Warm and gooey when fresh out of the oven, they’re just as delightful once cooled. The layers of caramel and chocolate create the ultimate treat.
