Turtle Brownies
If you’re a fan of Turtles candies, you’re going to love these Turtle Brownies! They combine the fudgy goodness of homemade brownies with layers of gooey caramel, pecans, and a chocolate drizzle.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter melted
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Topping:
- 1 11 ounce bag caramels, unwrapped (I used Kraft brand)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let brownies cool completely.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt caramels with heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth. Pour evenly over cooled brownies.
- Sprinkle pecans over the caramel layer.
- Melt mini chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the pecans and caramel.
- Allow brownies to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. Cut into 9 large squares.
Notes
Pro Tip:
Let the brownies sit for a few hours or overnight to set the caramel, then use a sharp knife for clean, perfect slices! (NO! This isn't necessary, just makes it much easier to cut, I know how hard it is to not dig in immediately!!)Nutrition
