Notes:
2018-12-09: when using caramel sauce, omit the milk except from the cake mix.
2017-01-28: our first batch used caramel candies and devil's food cake and a 13"x13" pan. Next time we'll use caramel syrup and German chocolate cake. We made cookies with the extra cake dough for ice cream sandwiches.
