1 box German chocolate cake mix
1 c. evaporated milk
1 c. chocolate chips
1 pkg. caramels
2 sticks butter
1 to 1 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Mix cake mix, 1 1/2 sticks softened butter and 1/2 cup evaporated milk together (just mix with spoon). Spread enough of this mixture in bottom of greased cake pan to cover without seeing bottom of pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 7 minutes. Cool.

Melt caramels, 1/2 stick butter and 1/2 cup evaporated milk together. Pour this mixture over cooled cake. Put chocolate chips and nuts on top of caramel mixture. Place the remaining cake mixture over top of the above. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Cool completely.

A lot better if it's made the day before.
