For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the caramel layer. Line the jelly roll pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the caramel layer before baking to enhance the sweetness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) of the softened butter with the German chocolate cake mix and egg. Use your hands to work the mixture until well blended and crumbly. (5 minutes)
03
StepPress the crumbly mixture evenly into a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan. (2 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. (20 minutes)
05
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter with the evaporated milk and unwrapped caramels. Melt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. (10 minutes)
06
StepRemove the caramel mixture from the heat and pour it evenly over the partially baked crust, tilting the pan to ensure it's fully coated. (2 minutes)
07
StepReturn the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and lightly browned. (20 minutes)
08
StepRemove from the oven and let cool completely. (30 minutes)
09
StepWhile the bars are cooling, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk (or water), and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more liquid or sugar as needed. (5 minutes)
10
StepDrizzle the icing evenly over the cooled caramel bars. Let the icing set before cutting into squares. (15 minutes)
