Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch rectangular pan with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Step 2.
In a medium bowl, use a fork to stir the melted butter into the cake mix until a very stiff dough forms.
-
Step 3.
Using a rubber spatula, press the dough evenly into the bottom of the greased pan.
-
Step 4.
Layer the semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, almond brickle chips, and chopped nuts evenly over the dough.
-
Step 5.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the chips and nuts.
-
Step 6.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The edges should be set and the center slightly jiggly.
-
Step 7.
Cool the pan completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour, before cutting into 1½-inch squares.
