This easy-to-make treat combines the moistness of chocolate cake with a gooey caramel layer, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and texture that’s sure to please any sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake Layer

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
  • Ingredients called for on cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)

Caramel Mixture

  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix with the required ingredients specified on the cake mix package (typically eggs, oil, and water) until smooth and well combined.
  2. Bake the First Layer: Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the cake is partially set but not fully baked.
  3. Prepare the Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the caramel sauce, evaporated milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the Caramel Layer: Carefully pour the caramel mixture over the partially baked chocolate cake layer, spreading evenly but gently to avoid mixing layers.
  5. Top with Remaining Batter and Chocolate Chips: Spoon the remaining half of the chocolate cake batter over the caramel layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake Until Set: Return the pan to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, and the bar is set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use a toothpick to test doneness; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  • For a richer caramel flavor, consider using homemade caramel sauce.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with butterscotch or white chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
