INGREDIENTS:
1 (18.25-ounce) package devil's food cake mix with pudding included 1-1/3 cups water 1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs 1 (14-ounce) bag caramels 1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup chopped pecans 1 (6-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)



1 Grease bottom and sides of a 13x9x2" rectangular pan with shortening; lightly flour. Make cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil and eggs. Pour 1/2 of batter into pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 25 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, heat caramels and milk in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat about 10 minutes, stirring often, until caramels are melted. (Or place caramels and milk in a 4-cup glass measuring cup. Microwave uncovered on high powder 2 minutes to 3-1/2 minutes, stirring once or twice and watching carefully.) Pour and spread caramel over warm cake in pan. Sprinkle with pecans and chocolate chips. Spread with remaining batter. Return to oven; bake 30 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Store, covered, at room temperature.
