Ingredients:  
1 box Deluxe Swiss Chocolate Cake Mix
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
2/3 cup evaporated milk (5.3 oz. can)
14 ounces light caramels
1 package semisweet chocolate chips (12 oz)

Directions:
Directions:
Place chocolate cake mix, melted butter and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in large mixer bowl; beat at high speed until well mixed. Save remaining evaporated milk to combine with caramels. Place half the chocolate cake mixture in a greased 13x9 inch baking pan and press well into bottom. Bake in preheated 350º oven for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.

Unwrap caramels and place in a heavy saucepan with remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk; stir over medium heat until smooth. Pour evenly over baked and cooled chocolate mixture. Spread with spatula to cover all of chocolate. (If you have a microwave, you may place caramels and evaporated milk in microwaveable bowl and heat on high power for 5 minutes, stirring every minute.)

Sprinkle with chocolate pieces and nuts.

Take pieces of remaining dough in your hands and press them into even thickness; lay on top of nuts, piecing to cover the entire surface.

Bake in the 350º oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the surface is no longer as glossy as it was. Cool in pan on rack and then cut into bars.
