Caramel-Walnut Brownies

• 1 (14-ounce) package caramels
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk, divided
• 1 (18.25-ounce) package caramel-flavored cake mix *
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups walnut halves or pieces

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0. Unwrap caramels, and place in a medium saucepan. Add 1/3 cup evaporated milk; cook over low heat until caramels melt, stirring often. Remove from heat, and set aside.
2. Combine remaining 1/3 cup milk, the cake mix, and next 3 ingredients; stir just until blended. Spread half the dough into a lightly greased 9" square pan. Chill remaining dough. Bake at 350u0b0 for 10 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes.
3. Pour caramel mixture over brownie layer in pan. Sprinkle with walnuts.
4. Divide remaining half of dough into 9 portions. Pat each portion into a 3" circle. Place circles over walnuts in pan, overlapping slightly. (Dough will spread during baking.)
5. Bake at 350u0b0 for 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cover and chill thoroughly before cutting.
