Caramel Chocolate Brownies

So...before I give you the recipe, here is a back story. I got this recipe from my brother in law and I totally thought it was a "secret" recipe. Turns out he only kept it a secret from girls to get dinner and dates. Brilliant man. Anyway, here is the recipe.

1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix (Betty Crocker is best)

1 bag Caramel's (Kraft brand)

1 bag Chocolate chips

1 stick butter, melted

1 can Evaporated milk (you will need 2/3 cup)

Mix the cake mix, butter and 1/3 cup evaporated milk together. Press HALF of batter into sprayed cake pan as evenly as possible. Cook at 350 for 8 minutes. Unwrap caramels and melt with the other half of the evaporated milk in microwave. Make sure you don't over melt them. Once the half of the cake mix is cooled, pour melted caramels onto it. Sprinkle chocolate chips, throw on the rest of the batter in globs, all over, put more chocolate chips on top. Cook for 15 minutes. When cooling, I like to do at least 4 hours, overnight would be best though.

A variation of this recipe I tried tonight: Caramel Chocolate Peanut Butter brownies. Yum!! You add a small spoonful of pb to the batter, 2 or so spoonfuls in the caramels (not too much or it gets too thick,) and use reese peanut butter chips. It is amazing!! I don't have pictures though.

Thanks all for reading!!

Pot O' Mess

1 1/2 pounds hamburger

5 potatoes

Carrots

5 pieces of Bacon

Barbecue sauce

Worchestshire sauce

Onion flakes

Garlic Flavored Season All

1 large cup water

I didn't really measure any of this. I just threw stuff in until it smelled good. I put it in the crock pot on high for 4 hours. As of now it looks pretty delicious, so I have high hopes for it. I will post a picture soon! Thanks all for keeping up on my blog! Please drop a comment if you like what you see and feel free to suggest new varieties of food for me to make!

After eating this I decided browning the meat first may be better. Just letting you know!

Crock Pot Potato Soup

So I made this AWESOME potato soup tonight. I don't want to toot my own horn...but I was proud. This recipe is hard to judge because it's very subjective to how much you need and all.

Potatoes (I think I did 8ish) I did peeled, you don't have to though

16-24 oz chicken broth

Cream of Chicken soup

Water
Carrots (if desired)

Garlic Salt

1/2-1 onion or just chopped onions

Chives

Salt

These last 2 I added 2 hours before it was done

4 TB butter

8 oz cream cheese

Put in crock pot on high for 6 hours. Add the last 2 ingredients at hour 4 and stir often. I have also gotten a couple cups or so and put it in the blender to try and make this soup a little more chunky. Also add other ingredients you think would be delicious and send a comment my way telling me how it turned out!

Oh, and throw some cheese or bacon on top after all is said and done :)
