Delicious! It was more brownie-like - not that there's anything wrong with that!

I'm not a huge carmel fan, but I love chocolate and this dump cake was incredibly chocolatey and moist!

This is good for a dessert you need to make in a hurry. I didn't like how the caramels were mostly solid in the cake, however. I'd try caramel sauce or homemade caramel instead.
