Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place caramels and sweetened condensed milk in a heavy saucepan and
cook
over low heat, stirring often, until caramels are completely melted
and
ingredients are blended.
While caramels are cooking, place shortening in a heavy saucepan and
cook
over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Beat sugar and eggs and then add cocoa powder, milk and cooled
shortening.
Set aside.
Sift flour, salt and baking powder and add to chocolate mixture,
beating
thoroughly. Stir in chocolate chips and 1/2 cup nuts.
Place 2/3 rds of the batter in a greased 13x9" baking pan and bake for
12
minutes.
Remove brownies from oven and pour melted caramels over top. Sprinkle
with
remaining nuts.
Drop remaining third of batter by teaspoonfuls evenly over brownies
and
smooth out top. Using a knife, cut through batter to marbleize.
Return pan to oven and bake for an additional 25-28 min. Remove from
oven
and cover with foil for 1 hour.
Refrigerate with foil still on for another hour or until cooled.
Cut into 3x 1/2" bars.
