CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL LAYER SQUARES 
1 (14 oz.) bag caramels
2/3 c. evaporated milk, divided
1 (18 oz.) pkg. reg. German chocolate cake mix
3/4 c. butter, softened
1 c. chopped nuts
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Combine caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in top of a double boiler; cook, stirring constantly, until caramels are completely melted. Remove double boiler from heat.

Combine cake mix, remaining 1/3 cup milk, and butter, mixing with electric mixer until dough holds together; stir in nuts. Press half of cake mixture into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes.

Sprinkle chocolate morsels over crust. Pour caramel mixture over chocolate morsels, spreading evenly. Crumble remaining cake mixture over caramel mixture. Return pan to oven, and bake 18 minutes; cool. Chill 30 minutes; cut into small bars. Bars will be soft and chewy inside.

Makes about 5 dozen.
