Ingredients
13.25ouncesBetty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
1/3cupMelted Butter{Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted}
2largeEggs
3/4cupSemi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1cupKraft Caramel Pieces {about 20 caramels} {an 11 oz. bag will be more than enough}
3/4tsp.Coarse Sea Salt
Instructions
Unwrap caramels, and cut each caramel into 8 tiny pieces {this will make them similar to the size of chocolate chips}
Set 1/2 cup of caramel pieces aside and 1/4 cup of chocolate chips aside for later.
Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter {or oil}, and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
Add 1/2 cup of caramel pieces and 1/2 cup chocolate chips into batter, and stir until well combined.
Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. {this is essential, if you don’t the caramels will want to become one with your pans} :)
Now it's time to grab the chocolate chips and caramel pieces you had set aside. Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls and transfer to cookie sheet. Place a few chocolate chips and caramel pieces on top of each dough ball, to get that pretty finished look.
Bake on center oven rack for 7 - 13 minutes, or until done. {Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets}
Remove cookies from oven, and immediately sprinkle with a little coarse sea salt on top.
Allow cookies cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then promptly transfer to cooling racks to let them finish cooling there. ENJOY!
