Turtle Bars

I made these for the first time last week and they were soooo yummy!

1 pkg. chocolate cake mix
60 craft caramels (I used two bags of the caramel bits. You can find them by the choclate chips.)
1 c. chopped nuts
1 1/2 c. evaporated milk
3/4 c. melted margarine
1 (12 oz) package chocolate chips

Melt caramels with 1/2 c. evaporated milk. Mix cake mix with one cup of evaporated milk, margarine and nuts. Pour half of the batter in a 9x13 buttered pan and bake for 15 min. at 350. Remove from oven and spread caramel mixture over layer. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel and spread balance of cake mix over the top. Bake 20 minutes longer.
