This recipe came from a dear friend, Michelle, who bribed her students with these cookies. And, it worked! They students worked extra hard to earn these delicious cookies!
Ooie Gooies
1 14 oz. pkg. caramels, unwrapped
1/3 c. canned milk
1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/3 c. canned milk
1 c. chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, your choice of nuts)
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. coconut
Melt caramels and 1/3 c. canned milk together over medium heat. Stir occassionally to blend. Mix cake mix, melted butter and 1/3 c. canned milk together. I like to use the electric mixer to combine the ingredients together well. Press 2/3 of the batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degreese for 6 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, chopped nuts and coconut. Drizzle the melted caramel over. Drop the remaining cake mix dough over. Add more chocolate chips, chopped nuts and coconut as desired. Sometimes it just needs a little bit more! Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before cutting.
