These brownies are amazing. Like another reviewer mentioned, this must be made in a metal pan. The first time I made it in a pyrex pan and it came out gritty and mushy. The second time I made it in a metal pan and it came out perfect.

This recipe has been around for a very long time, but I believe I prefer using 1/3 c evaporated milk with caramels and 1/3 c in batter and increase nuts to 1 c and use the whole bag of chocolate chips! Also, be careful to find the bag of Kraft caramels first because they tend to be seasonal! Maybe changing the name to Bars instead of Brownies would help those who are expecting something not quite so sweet. But, man! We love these!

OMG the most decadent thing i've ever tasted - perfect for someone with a serious sweet-tooth!! they were super easy to make as well- except i suggest cooling them in the fridge before cutting since they are sooooo gooey!! i brought them to my mommy's group and sent some to work with my husband; everyone was begging for the recipe!! i will definitely make these again!

Loved these brownies! They were great warm, but even better the next day after being refrigerated.

Very Good Recipe, these brownies could be paper weights they are so heavy! Only thing---the pan size recommended is too large.

very good. just stick to the recipe as is. don't change a thing. these turned out so moist and so yummy! thank you for the recipe!

This recipe is a very old one - it's been a favorite in my house for at least 15 years. Always delicious and absolutely decadent. A little tricky to get the top half of the batter on - it definitely does NOT cover the caramel - don't even TRY to do that. That is misleading they way they wrote the instructions. Just hand- place the batter on top...it will taste wonderful.

Absolutely delicious. Don't change a thing.

OMG!! I have made these about 1000 times. Actually am making them again tonight. This is absolutely excellent and my hubby..my hubbys friends and coworkers ask for these all the time. All I have to say is DO AS INSTRUCTED! (Although I do have to say I put more batter on the bottom of the pan than top, seems to work out better)Do not make the cake mix (as on the back of the box) Do exactly as the instructions say to do in THIS recipe and it will turn out perfectly!! The only thing I would change is: if your husband KNOWS you are making these: HIDE THEM!!

I make this all of the time. You do not mix the cake mix up according to the box. Follow the recipe. The batter will be stiff. You have to use your hands and piece it in the dish. Flatten out as best you can with your hands. After it bakes and you put the rest of the ingredients on INCLUDING the caramel mixture. I do not put that on top, you have to piece the remaining batter on top. It will not cover completely, but thats okay. Piece in small amounts across the top. As it bakes it will close up some. Some of the gooey is suppose to ooze to the top anyway. I leave out the nuts.

These brownies are fabulous. I used sweetened concensed milk - 1/2 can in cake mix and the other 1/2 can melted with the caramels. Be sure to use Kraft caramels as Brochs are gritty.

I made these for my State Fair and they won first prize! I was really hesitant to try these since brownies made with mix are normally very chemically tasting. The cake mix doesn't give them any fake flavor, though. I doubled the recipe and made them in a 9x9 pan like some of the other posters suggested. They were much thicker and gooier that way. I also added twice as many nuts, and dropped dough in blobs all over the top so the caramel was visible underneath. Very rich and very good. Everybody loves these!

These brownies are AMAZING! I used Devil's Food Cake Mix instead of German Chocolate because that's what I had on hand and they are sooooooo delicious. I thought the hardest part of making them was unwrapping all of the caramels; so don't hesitate, try these!

This is a hit with all of my friends! The only thing I do differently is bake it at 450 for 6 minutes and then 450 for another 8 minutes. And DON'T make the cake mix just use the combine cake mix with butter & evaporated milk.

We have been making these for 22 years. They are my favorite, but I like them best when they are cold and the caramel is hard. To make it easier, use the caramel bits by Kraft. You won't have to unwrap caramels. UPDATE- An even easier method is to use Mrs. Richardson's Butterschotch Caramel (found by the ice cream at grocery stores like Kroger). I melt it in the microwave. The taste is amazing and makes them so fast to prepare.

Way way way too sweet! I would much prefer the traditional brownie. Sorry.

I tried to mess up these brownies in almost every way possible and they still turned out great; moist, chewy and rich! My husband loves them. I didn't have milk chocolate chips so I used a combination of semi-sweet and white chips. I also was out of pecans, so I used walnuts. But the thing I thought would ruin the recipe is that I almost forgot to add the melted caramel!!! Idid remember, but AFTER the topping was already on. I tried to lift some of it up to pour the caramel under it, but it was difficult to do and most of the caramel ended up on top. RESULTS? Still wonderful. I won't mess up next time and will definitely make this again!
