Ingredients:
1 pkg German chocolate cake mix
1 pkg caramels
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 c. walnuts (optional)
Directions:
Mix
the German chocolate cake mix as directed. Put 1/2 of the batter in a
greased 13x 9 pan and bake and 350 degrees for 20 minutes. reduce heat
to 250 degrees. While the first 1/2 of the cake is cooking melt the
caramels, 1/2 cup milk,
and 1/2 cup butter in double boiler: pour over the cake, sprinkle with
3/4 cup chocolate chips, and the nuts if you are using them. Spread the
remaining batter over the top. Bake at 250 degrees for 20 minutes and
then at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
The cake is
supposed to be frosted with a cool whip and chocolate pudding frosting.
However, we use my grandmas fudge frosting which adds about a thousand
calories and thus tastes much better.
Fudge frosting:
4 3/4 powder sugar
1/2 cup unsweeten cocoa powder
1 cube butter
1/3 cup boiling water
1 tsp vanilla
Combine
pwd sugar and cocoa (mix with a wire whisk), add softened butter, water
and vanilla. Mix for one minute on medium spead. I usually frost the
cake when it is still a little warm, the thick frosting spreads better
that way.
