Caramel Brownies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook caramels and ⅓ cup of the milk in a large saucepan over low heat; stir constantly until caramels are melted. Set aside. Combine cake mix, margarine, remaining milk, and nuts. Stir by hand until it holds together. Press half of the dough into a greased 13- by 9-inch pan. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Spread caramel mixture over chocolate chips. Crumble and press the remaining dough over the top. Return to oven and bake 15 to 18 minutes. Cool slightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set caramel layer. Yields 48 brownies.
