  • ½ cup melted butter

  • 1 egg

  • 1 bag (11–14 oz) caramel candies (unwrapped)

  • 1½ cups chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work great)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.

  2. In a bowl, mix cake mix, melted butter, and egg until crumbly.

  3. Press half of the mixture firmly into the pan.

  4. Bake for 10 minutes.

  5. While baking, melt caramels + cream together (microwave or stovetop), stirring until smooth.

  6. Pour caramel over the baked base.

  7. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts.

  8. Crumble the remaining cake mixture over the top.

  9. Bake 18–22 minutes, until lightly golden.

  10. Cool completely before cutting (this part matters!).

Pro tip

For clean slices, chill for 30 minutes before cutting. For gooey slices, cut warm 😍
