Caramel Layer Chocolate Squares

Updated: Mar 11, 2023

A rich bar filled with chocolate and caramel that is hard to resist!

This recipe is another great find in my mom's collection. Her days working at a local elementary school brought a lot of wonderful recipes home. The teachers shared recipes not only with each other, but also with the students. The paper recipe has the outline of a turkey around the recipe to be shared with students at the holidays! Yep, those are the good ole days.


If you are a lover of chocolate and caramel, you will love these bars! I've taken these to potlucks at work and they are a hit. The base of the recipe is a box cake mix which puts it in the "easy" category. The most difficult part of the recipe is unwrapping the caramels (I enlist the help of my husband!). I have also used the unwrapped caramel bits, which puts the recipe back in the "easy" category!


What You Need

  • Caramels

  • Evaporated Milk

  • German Chocolate Cake Mix

  • Butter

  • Chocolate Chips


How to Make Caramel Layer Chocolate Squares

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9x13 inch baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Melt caramels and evaporated milk and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, mix together cake mix, evaporated milk, and butter until thoroughly combined. Put half of the cake mixture into prepared pan and bake for 6 minutes.

Step 4: Sprinkle evening with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Spread the caramel mixture over the top of the chocolate chips. Crumble the remaining dough over the caramel.

Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.

This recipe has been with my mom a long time (40+ years) and definitely worthy of a try! You definitely need to add this one to your recipe collection!
