Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the German chocolate cake mix with eggs, oil, and water as per package instructions.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 15 minutes until slightly set.
Meanwhile, melt together caramels, butter, and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
Once the first layer has baked, pour the caramel mixture evenly over it, followed by chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Pour remaining batter over the topping layer and return to oven for an additional 20 minutes or until set.
Allow to cool completely before frosting with chocolate frosting. Slice into squares to serve.
