Préparation
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C.
  2. Gather all your ingredients.
Cook the Caramel Layer
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the unwrapped caramels with 120 ml of evaporated milk over low heat, stirring frequently for 5-7 minutes until melted and smooth.
Mix the Brownie Base
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the German chocolate cake mix, 80 ml evaporated milk, melted butter, and chopped pecans until a thick dough forms.
Press the Brownie Dough
  1. Take half of the brownie dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Bake Initial Layer
  1. Bake the pressed brownie layer in the oven for 8 minutes.
Add Chocolate Chips
  1. Remove the pan from the oven and evenly distribute the chocolate chips on top.
Drizzle Caramel Sauce
  1. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the chocolate chips.
Flatten Remaining Dough
  1. Retrieve the remaining brownie dough and flatten small portions, arranging them over the caramel layer to cover completely.
Bake Again
  1. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the brownies are just set in the middle.
Cool and Slice
  1. Remove the pan and allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes et conservation

For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramel layer. You can also experiment with other nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch and flavor.
