Ingredients

14 ounces Kraft caramels

2/3 cup evaporated milk

1 box Duncan Hines Swiss chocolate cake mix

2/3 cup melted butter

1 (6 oz.) pkg. (1 c.) chocolate chips

1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)

Preparation

Combine caramels and 1/2 of the milk and melt on low heat (watch and stir frequently, it burns easily). Combine cake mix, butter and 1/2 of milk and mix 2 minutes. Spread 1/2 of batter in 9 x 13 pan and bake 6 minutes at 350 degrees (layer is very thin). Cool 2 minutes. Drizzle caramel mix over cake layer in pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Stir 1/2 of nuts (optional) into remaining batter, drop by spoonful over cake in pan. Sprinkle rest of nuts over pan and bake 18 minutes at 350. Let stand 24 hours before
