I hate to poo poo these after all the good ratings but they weren't as good as I wanted them to be. The german cake mix ended up being sort of an odd element to the dish. It has a subtle flavor that got lost and seemed almost flavorless compared to the very strong and very sweet caramel and chocolate. I wasn't crazy about the texture of the cake layer either. I brought these to a friend's house and one person absolutely loved them and the other person felt the same way as me, that they were just OK.

I made these for a party. They were a big hit. I did follow part of the directions suggested from IM Cookie. I will definitely make these again!

I followed recipe exactly and baked the times as suggested 6-8 min split. I took to a party and only 3 people ate. It was not good at all! Way too much carmel (which I didn't know I could say). It was just a total embarrassment and I'll never make again.

Took the advice of "baker" and did not melt the butter and that did not work out well for me! The 2nd time I cut the butter back and that ALSO didn't work out so well. Found that if I followed the recipe exactly as written it was fantastic. I did use pecans instead of walnuts, and had to bake the bottom layer 6 min. instead of 3 but that's just my oven. This recipe is to die for and requested over and over.

Didn't care for these at all. Bland flavor and overly sweet.

I made this recipe according to the directions yesterday and loved it. It was easy to make. I think I overbaked it a little because the top did not look done to me. It just seemed too soft on top. I baked it an additional 6 minutes. That was too long. My brownies came out very chewy but still very good. So, next time I will follow the baking time exactly.

I've been making these for years and everybody loves them. The only change I make is to add unsweetened coconot shreds to the caramel/nut layer. I always refer to them as German Chocolate Caramel Brownies.

I used to make these before my youngest son developed a nut allergy. They ARE heavenly! However I would switch up my nuts with almonds and/or pecans if walnuts were not available.
