Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, ⅓ cup evaporated milk, melted butter and pecans. Stir together until totally combined. Mixture will be very thick.
Press half the mixture into a well-greased parchment lined 9 x 9 inch square baking pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside.
In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water) melt caramels with additional ½ cup evaporated milk. When melted and combined, pour over the brownie base. Sprinkle chocolate chips as evenly as you can over the caramel.
Turn out remaining brownie dough on the work surface. Use your hands to press it into a large square a little smaller than the pan. Use a spatula to remove it from the surface, then set it on top of the caramel and chocolate chips.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for several hours. When ready to serve, generously sift powdered sugar over the surface of the brownies. Cut into either nine or twelve helpings, and carefully remove from the pan.

You MUST use a metal 9×9 baking pan. Glass doesn’t retain heat as well. The disposable ones don’t retain heat at all. My fav is super inexpensive and great for all brownies, blondies, bars etc.

The resting time when making these is essential. It allows for the brownies to slightly continue to bake once removed from the oven and cool over the course of at least 2 hours. This ensures a perfectly gooey brownie!
