Method

Mix cake mix, oil, eggs and water. Spray a 9x13" pan with nonstick spray. Pat HALF of the mixture into pan. Unwrap caramels, add evaporated milk and heat in microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 minute. Stir and melt for another minute, continuing until caramels are melted and creamy. Pour over batter. Drop spoonfuls of remaining batter over top of caramel. Sprinkle with M&M's and nuts. Bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven. Cool and cut in to squares.

 

Notes: These Chameleon Bars are easy and adaptable to the time of year. Depending on the season, they can be made with appropriately colored M&M's. For a variation, use Reeses Pieces, white chocolate chips, or Heath bits instead of M&M's.
