Notes

If you don’t want to use walnuts, you can always replace them with pecans or peanuts, depending on which ones you like best.
You can substitute homemade caramel sauce for the ice cream caramel sauce in this recipe.
Consider serving this dump cake warm with a side of cold ice cream. These two desserts are a perfect match.
