1 German Chocolate cake mix (I use Pillsbury)
3/4 C. margarine or butter, softened
2/3 C. evaporated milk (1/3 for cake mix 1/3 to melt caramel)
1 (16 oz.) bag Kraft caramels
1 (6 oz.) bag chocolate chips (I sometimes mix milk cho. and semi sweet)
Chopped pecans -- optional
Mix together the cake mix, 3/4 cup margarine and 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Batter will be thick. Spread half of the batter into ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350° for 6 minutes. While that is baking, melt caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk over medium heat stirring often! Pour caramel over baked portion of brownies. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Then drop and spread remaining batter by teaspoonfuls over the top of the brownies (will not cover the entire top—but will fill in as it is baking).
Bake 18 minutes at 350°.
Eat hot with a spoon, or cool and cut. Yummy either way!

Okay. Where do we submit our requests for Mother Knell's greatest hits? Please provide lucid instructions for:
1. Aunt Lydia's rolls
2. honey candy and/or anise candy
3. cracking chocolate ice cream topping.
4. Peas and new potatoes in white sause.
5. Fruit leather.
6. Freezer jams (all fruits)
7. Banana bread
What Grandma Knell classics am I forgetting? Does she have a 1970's granola recipe? You know, back when they made this health food with loads of fat and sugar?
What classics did the Knell neighbors make? Didn't Karl Pope bite Lydia? Could someone verify that with his mother?
Karl Pope is a biter. Always was. Always will be.
Mom's Rolls are posted under January.
I'll track down Mom's greatest hits.
Mrs. Daley would make donuts and fry them in bacon grease at Christmas. But she died a couple of years ago. I'll see if mom has it. I do have Mrs. Allred's Cinnamon rolls. Give me time!
Love these--but most recently made them with the Ghiradelli (never know how to spell that) brownie mix and pecans. Even better that way, I think. Actually, I made them for the first time on Sunday and the brownies didn't quite cook all the way through, so I put them in the freezer to wait to cook through next Sunday (I'm only doing desserts on Sunday and it was too late to cook them again last week). But I think they will be even better than the German choc. cake version--though I've made my fair share of those too.
