Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs (for cake mix preparation)
  • 1/3 cup water (for cake mix preparation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix with the eggs, water, and melted butter. Stir until smooth to create the cake batter.
  2. Bake the Bottom Layer: Pour approximately half of the prepared cake batter into a greased 9×9 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
  3. Add Caramel and Chocolate Chips: Remove the pan from the oven and evenly spread the caramel sauce over the partially baked cake layer. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly on top of the caramel layer.
  4. Top with Remaining Batter: Carefully spoon the remaining half of the cake batter over the caramel and chocolate chip layer, spreading it gently to cover as much of the filling as possible.
  5. Bake Until Done: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the top layer comes out mostly clean. The bars should be firm and set.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps the layers set for clean slices and an enjoyable texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and melted butter for best batter consistency.
  • Make sure not to overbake the bottom layer before adding caramel to keep it soft enough to meld layers together.
  • You can substitute caramel sauce with dulce de leche for a richer flavor variation.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
