Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
- Melt the caramel and 1/3 cup evaporated milk and stir in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and incorporated.
- In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, melted butter and flour. Press half of the mix into the 9x13 inch dish and bake for 6 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips.
- Pour the caramel on top of the chocolate chips.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter on the top of the caramel and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely so that the caramel can set. I also find that if you let it cool and place in the fridge it helps to set up right before cutting.

SALTED CARAMEL PEANUT BROWNIE BARS
With a chewy chocolate chunk-studded base and heaps of gooey peanut-laden caramel, these bars are part candy bar and part brownie with cookielike edges. Super-rich and satisfying, a little piece is all you need. A candy or deep-fry thermometer is an inexpensive and useful tool worth investing in to achieve a caramel that is neither too hard nor too soft.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
- Prepare the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy, 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Mix in the flour mixture and the chocolate until evenly moistened.
- Transfer the thick batter to the prepared pan and spread it out into an even layer with an offset spatula. Bake until the base looks dry and set, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Prepare the topping: To a small saucepan with high sides add ¼ cup/60 milliliters water. Pour the sugar and corn syrup into the center of the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until the mixture is a medium amber color, about 15 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Quickly and carefully add the cream and the butter. Take care: The mixture will steam and sputter. Stir the mixture until combined and clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pot.
- Cook the caramel until the mixture reaches 238 degrees, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanuts and the kosher salt. Pour the caramel over the base, using the raised edges of the base that formed while baking to keep the caramel on top. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Let stand until the caramel is completely cool.
- Using the parchment overhang, transfer the bar to a cutting board. Cut into 32 small rectangles to serve.

Tips:
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more smoothly and create a more even batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for this recipe. If you use a smaller pan, the brownies will be thicker and may take longer to bake.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
