Knock You Naked Brownies

These are so chewy and decadent. I made a pan of these yesterday and they are gone as of this morning. If it weren't for the fact that I have no more caramels in the house, I'd make some more. If you love chocolate, nuts, and caramel, this is for you! I have no clue how this name was inspired. I guess better-than-sex has been overused, so the originator got creative. I don't care what they are called, they taste wonderful.





Knock You Naked Brownies

1 box Swiss chocolate cake mix (Any chocolate cake mix would work, pick your favorite)
1 cup chopped pecans (I love the mild flavor of pecans, but again, you can choose whatever tickles your fancy) you can also omit this if you don't like nuts
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup evaporated milk, divided
1/2 cup butter, melted
7 ounces caramels, unwrapped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, nuts, 1/3 cup evaporated milk and melted butter. Press half of the batter into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8 minutes.

In the microwave or top of a double boiler melt caramels with remaining 1/4 cup evaporated milk. When caramel mixture is well mixed, pour over baked layer. Cover with chocolate chips. Drop the remaining batter by spoonfuls on top of morsels. Return to oven and bake 18 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting.
