INGREDIENTS

• 18 ounce package fudge brownie mix , I used Duncan Hines
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk , divided
• 1 cup chocolate chips

• Next, combine your caramels and 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for one minute. Stir and add another 15-30 seconds if needed.
