Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 cup evaporated milk (or whole milk)
- 1 cup caramel sauce or caramel bits
- 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, sea salt flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle half of the dry cake mix evenly into the dish.
- Drizzle half of the melted butter and pour half of the evaporated milk over the mix.
- Top with half of the chocolate chips and some caramel sauce.
- Repeat with remaining cake mix, butter, milk, chocolate chips, and caramel.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is set but inside is gooey and bubbling.
- Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use German chocolate cake mix for deeper flavor.
- For a turtle version, add pecans and drizzle with caramel and chocolate.
- Swap caramel for Nutella or peanut butter chips for variation.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet-salty balance.
- Can also be made in a slow cooker on low for 2–3 hours.
