German Chocolate Bars (WI) Recipe

1 (18-ounce) box German chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 (14-ounce) bag caramels
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Mix together the cake mix, butter, and 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk. Press half of this dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Unwrap the caramels, and place them in a saucepan. Add the remaining 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk, and stir constantly over low heat until the caramels are melted.
Remove the baked dough from the oven, and pour the melted caramels evenly over it. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and nuts. Crumble the remaining dough over the caramel layer. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer.
