Mix together:
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup evaporated milk ( I had to add more til I had all the dry mix included in a paste) My cake mix was bigger than most, I guess.
1 box chocolate cake mix (I used Sun Flour mills)
Put a little over 1/2 cake mixture pressed into 9x13 pan sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for 6 minutes.
Then melt together in microwave:
28 caramels
1/3 cup evaporated milk
Stir until smooth. Sprinkle baked batter with one bag of chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet ghiradelli). Pour caramel mixture over the chocolate chips. Make left over batter into patties and place over the caramel. There will not be enough to completely cover. It looks like pancake shapes randomly placed on the top. Bake again at 350 degrees for 18-21 minutes. Cool and eat. Very rich and very yummy! I gave these to friends for Christmas and they couldn't tell they were gluten free. Success!

Magic Pizza Crust
2 c. cauliflower (measured after its steamed and mashed)
2 eggs
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
Steam the cauliflower then mash it up with a potato masher (or you can grate it by hand or in a food processor). This is called ricing (you don't want it to be a puree). Then add the eggs and cheese and spread it on a greased cookie sheet or Pizza pan. Optionally, you could add in some italian seasoning or garlic. Bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown on the edges. Then add your sauce and toppings and put back in oven just to melt the cheese. Yum!
I tricked my kids the first time, but now they ask for the Cauliflower pizza. Success :)
