Caramel Brownies

Ingredients
9 ounces caramels, unwrapped
1 (14-ounce) can low fat sweetened condensed milk
1 (18 ¼ -oz) box light devil's food cake mix
½ cup (1 stick) light stick margarine, melted
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips


Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour.
2. In the top of a double boiler or in the microwave, melt the caramels with 1/3 cup of the milk. Keep warm and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, margarine, and remaining milk. Beat at high speed with a mixer until very well combined. Spread half of the dough into the bottom of the baking pan. Bake for 6 minutes, then sprinkle chocolate chips over the partially baked dough.
4. Spread the caramel mixture over the chocolate chips. Crumble the remaining dough on top. Return to the oven and continue baking for 15 minutes, or until the sides pull away from the pan. Do not overcook. Cool in the pan on a rack and cut into 48 squares.
