Crack Brownies

from Vanessa

**no illegal substances involved**

50 light caramels
1/3 c skim evaporated milk
1 package german chocolate cake mix
3/4 c melted butter
1/3 c skim evaporated milk
2 c milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In heavy saucepan, combine caramels and 1/3 c evaporated milk.  Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until caramels are melted.

Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray (like Pam).

In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, melted butter and the other 1/3 c evaporated milk.  Stir by hand until the dough holds together. Divide dough in half and press first half of dough into prepared baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over baked crust. Pour caramel mixture over the chocolate chips. Crumble the other half of the dough over caramel layer. Return pan to oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove and cool before serving.

My brother-in-law calls these crack brownies because they are so good he can't stop eating them!  They are addicting!
