Ingredients

  • 10 slices Bacon cooked, and cut into small bits/pieces
  • 9.5 oz caramels 1 bag, unwrapped
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • 15.25 oz German Chocolate Cake Mix
  • ¾ cup butter softened
  • cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a saucepan over low or medium heat, add unwrapped caramels and ½ cup evaporated milk. Stir constantly until melted (on medium heat it takes about 8-10 minutes. If it gets too hot, remove from heat, and continue to stir. Or reduce heat and stir.) Set aside.
  • Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.
  • Mix together in a bowl cake mix, butter, ⅓ cup evaporated milk.
  • Press ⅔ batter into the bottom of prepared pan. Don't get discouraged here and let this be your Pinterest fail. The batter will stick and be hard to spread. I use greased fingers (use cooking spray or butter left on wrapper) and take small amounts and flatten in the pan. Be patient. It can take a few minutes to get it into the pan.
  • Bake for 8 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the brownie batter. Pour caramel over chocolate chips. Sprinkle about ¾ of your bacon onto the caramel. Spoon remaining batter on caramel. I use my fingers, grab a little batter, flatten and place in the pan.
  • Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle top with remaining bacon.
  • Cool completely and refrigerate at least 1 hour. I refrigerate mine overnight and cut in the morning.
