Caramel Chocolate Bars

Recipe courtesy of the Palo Iowa Quasquicentennial Cookbook


1 (14 oz.) bag of caramels
1 can evaporated milk
1 (18 oz.) package chocolate cake mix. (I used Devil's Food)
3/4 cup melted butter
1 pkg. chocolate chips


Combine the caramels and 1/3 cup of evaporated milk in pan. Stir until melted, and keep warm. Combine the cake mix,  butter, and 1/3 cup of milk and mix well. Spread half of the batter into a greased 9 X 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 for 6 minutes. Cool 2 minutes. Spread the caramel mixture over crust and top with chocolate chips. Drop the remaining batter by spoonfuls over the cake. Bake for 18 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
These are very very yummy!!
