Ingredients
1BoxCake MixBetty Crocker, German Chocolate, and yes, the kind matters.
1/3CupEvaporated Milk
2/3CupMargarinemelted and cooled
1 1/2Cups Chocolate Chipssemi sweet or milk chocolate
In a bowl, mix the dry cake mix with the milk and margarine.
1 Box Cake Mix, 2/3 Cup Margarine, 1/3 Cup Evaporated Milk
Pour 1/2 the batter into the pan and gently spread it out. It will be very thick.
Place remaining batter in the fridge.
Place in the oven for 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, unwrap the caramels into a glass bowl and add 1/3 cup evaporated milk.
1 Bag Caramels, 1/3 Cup Evaporated Milk
Microwave on high for 30 second intervals, stirring between until smooth.
Remove the brownies from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
1 1/2 Cups Chocolate Chips
Pour the caramel over the chocolate.
Sprinkle chopped candy bars over the caramel.
8 Candy Bars
Remove the batter from the fridge and gently pat a tablespoon or so into the palm of your hand. If it sticks run your hands under cool water or spray with a little nonstick spray.
Place each piece over the caramel and snickers like a patchwork quilt until all of the caramel and candy bars are covered.
You can also place saran wrap next to the pan and press the dough onto that in the exact size of the pan. Just measure by doing the length and then moving the pan to the end to measure the width. Carefully flip it onto the caramel. Bake an additional 16 minutes.
Remove from the oven all allow to cool before serving.
You can also place in the fridge to help the caramel really set up which makes for easier serving.
Notes
these brownies can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then foil, or placed in a freezer bag and frozen for up to 4 months.
