Melt the caramel bits with 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk in a sauce pan over medium heat.
Combine the cake mix, melted butter, nuts and remaining evaporated milk together. I used walnuts today, but your could easily swap out for pecans.
The dough will be very fudgy looking. Divide 2/3 dough out to press into pan.
Press the dough into the 13×9 greased baking pan and bake for 6-8 minutes.
Sprinkle cooked dough with 1 cup of chocolate chips. My family prefers milk chocolate chips, but semi-sweet would work just as well.
Pour over the caramel mixture in ribbons.
Piece the remaining batter over the caramel. Bake for 15-18 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Let cool before cutting. Pour yourself a glass of milk and enjoy!
