Snicker Cake

Garrett & I were just making my birthday cake for tomorrow and thought it might be a recipe you all would enjoy. It is my favorite cake and I always request it for my birthday. I am not even that big of a chocolate fan and this one rocks my world!

1 German Chocolate cake mix
1 (14 oz) package of Kraft caramels
1/3 c. Milk
1 stick of butter (or margarine)
1 c. nuts, your choice (I use less)
1 (6 oz) package of chocolate chips (We like the BIG chocolate chips you can get in bulk at Winco.

Mix cake as directed on the package. Melt the caramels along with the milk & butter over low heat. Pour about 1/2 or less of the batter into your 9 x 13 inch greased pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or less until toothpick that is inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and pour caramel mixture over the cake. Sprinkle it with nuts (We put nuts on about half of it) and chocolate chips. Pour remaining cake batter over cake and caramel mixture. (This is when we took the picture) Return to oven and bake for 20 min. at 250. Then back at 350 for an additional 10 minutes. This is good enough you don't need to bother with frosting.
* We think it taste better the second day. It gives it time to cool which will allow you to better taste the different layers and the chocolate chips cool and become crunchy inside.

Now I can't wait until tomorrow!
