2/3 c. evaporated milk, divided (small can)
1 stick butter
1 pkg. Kraft caramels
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Melt caramels with 1/3 c. evaporated milk in a double boiler on medium heat. Set aside. Stir together in a bowl, the cake mix, 1/3 c evaporated milk, and butter. Press half of the mixture into a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 6 minutes. Take the pan out. Pour the caramel mixture over the hot brownie mixture. Top with chocolate chips and the remaining cake mixture, carefully crumbling it on top. Bake 350 for 18 to 20 minutes. Do not overcook. Cool until set.

Chewy Chocolate-Oat Bars

Melt 1 c. chocolate chips with 1/3 c. evaporated milk and set aside.
In a bowl, mix well:
1/3 c. evaporated milk
2 eggs
1/2 c. canola oil
1 +1/2 c. brown sugar
2 t. vanilla
Then add to this mixture:
2 c whole wheat flour
1 c. quick oats
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
Pat 1/2 of the dough into a greased jelly roll pan (may use 9X13, but bars will be thick and you will need to cook a little longer); spread chocolate mixture over the dough. Add 4 T. oats and 2 T. softened butter to remaining dough, mix and crumble over chocolate mixture. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until top is golden and firm. Cool completely.
