German Chocolate Bars!

If you love anything German Chocolate, like I do, then these "German Chocolate Bars" will be right up your alley!  These are like a really gooey German Chocolate brownie bar and they do start with a German Chocolate cake mix so they are not hard to make at all.  Here is what you will need:

1 pkg. German Chocolate cake mix

3 eggs, beaten

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate, melted

1 tsp. vanilla

16 oz. caramel candies, melted

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the cake mix, eggs, butter, 1/2 of the sweetened condensed milk, water, the melted semisweet chocolate, and the vanilla in a bowl.   Mix well.   Spread 1/2 of this mixture in a 9"x13" pan that has been sprayed with nonstick baking spray. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.

Melt the caramels in the microwave or in a saucepan combined with the remaining sweetened condensed milk.   Pour over the baked layer.   Sprinkle with the white chocolate chips and pecans.   Spread the remaining cake batter over all.

Bake for 20 additional minutes.  

Allow to cool completely, cut into bars and serve!
