Knock-You-Naked Brownies
- 1 stick butter, melted, plus more for greasing
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1/3 plus 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- One 18.5-ounce box German chocolate cake mix (I use Duncan Hines)
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 60 caramels, unwrapped
- 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-9-inch baking pan.
- Begin by pouring 1/3 cup evaporated milk into a bowl with the cake mix.
- Add the melted butter and the chopped pecans.
- Mix the ingredients together; it'll be pretty thick!
- Divide the dough in half down the middle.
- Press half of it into the bottom of the prepared pan to make the first brownie layer.
- Bake until slightly set, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Then remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the brownie layer is baking, in a double boiler (or glass bowl set over a bowl of simmering water) combine the caramels and the remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
- Stir occasionally until the caramels are totally melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the first baked layer, spreading so it's evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips all over the top.
- Next, on a clean surface or a sheet of waxed paper, press the remaining dough into a square shape slightly smaller than the baking pan.
- Carefully set it on top of the chocolate chips.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool to room temperature.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate the brownies for several hours to allow them to set.
- When you're ready to serve them (or give them to someone you love!)
- sprinkle generously with the powdered sugar and cut them into large rectangles before removing from the pan.
- These are absolutely killer, my friends.
- Make them for someone you really, really love... or someone you want to love you back.
- It'll work.
- Guarantee it.
