Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, whole milk, eggs, and canola oil; mix on medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes).
Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes until set but not fully baked.
While baking, prepare the caramel filling by melting together caramel bits, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat until smooth.
Remove the partially baked cake from the oven; pour the warm caramel filling over it and sprinkle with chocolate chips and pecans.
Add remaining batter spoonfuls on top to cover completely and return to bake for another 20 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack for about two hours before frosting with chocolate fudge frosting.
