1 pkg. German chocolate cake mix
2/3 c. evaporated milk (1 sm. can)
1 bag caramels
3/4 c. softened butter, not melted
1 bag chocolate chips
Coconut, optional
Walnuts, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap caramels. Mix cake mix, butter, and 1/3 cup of evaporated milk. Grease cake pan with Pam.

Put approximately 1/2 of above mix into pan and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from oven; pour desired amount of chocolate chips on top of cake.

Put bag of caramels and remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk into microwave bowl and melt until stirs creamy (approximately 2 minutes). Pour caramel mixture over chocolate chips on cake.

Put remaining cake mix on top (may want to add a little milk to remaining cake mix to make it easier to spread on top). Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes before cutting. Cut into small squares.
