Hi friends,

This is one of our favorite desserts, but we don’t make it very often because…well, look at all the yummy things in it! I usually make it when I need to take a dish to share since we certainly don’t need to eat a whole 9 by 13 pan ourselves! 😳 I recently made them again and they were just as good as always!

I first shared this recipe several years ago and wanted to share it again for those who might have missed it the first time. 🙂 This is an easy recipe to make and will make your kitchen smell amazing!

Hip Hugger Bars

• 30 light caramels (like Kraft individually wrapped)
• 1/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 pkg Betty Crocker German Chocolate cake mix
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 3/4 cup melted butter
• 1/3 cup milk
• 12 ounce bag chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Unwrap caramels. Melt caramels in evaporated milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often. Set aside.

Combine cake mix, milk, and melted butter. Mix well. Add nuts. Pat 2/3 of dough into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake 6 minutes. Remove from oven. Cake will have risen but still be quite soft.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over crust, then drizzle caramel mixture over melting chocolate. Drop remaining dough by spoonfuls over the top. Return to oven for 15 minutes or until set. (I usually have to go a little longer – it will depend on your oven.)

Cool completely before cutting.

This is how it looks after baking the first layer for 6 minutes…

Fresh from the oven…cooled, cut into bars, and ready to eat!!

Hip Hugger Bars are yummy at room temperature, but are also amazing warmed for a few seconds in the microwave with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. 😋

If you’re a chocolate lover, try this recipe…I promise you won’t be disappointed!
