How to Make Turtle Brownies

Start by mixing together the wet ingredients for the brownies in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients in with the wet. Fold in chocolate chips. Bake for about 30 minutes.

While the brownies are baking and cooling, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for about a minute. Whisk until the chocolate is smooth.

Scoop a small amount of the chocolate into a piping bag. Spread the remaining chocolate on top of the brownies. Scoop the salted caramel into a second piping bag. Sprinkle the pecans, chocolate chips, and caramel bites over the brownies. Drizzle additional chocolate and salted caramel over the brownies. Cut into bars and enjoy!

What to Serve with Turtle Brownies:

Sometimes, you want something more than just a brownie square. Here are a few ideas of things to serve with them:

• Additional caramel sauce
• Chocolate Sauce
• Ice Cream

Tips

To store these brownies, put them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. They do not require being stored in the fridge, but it will enhance the taste and texture of leftovers.

Swap out the pecans if you aren’t a fan. These brownies would be equally delicious with walnuts or almonds. Or you can leave the nuts off completely for simple caramel brownies.
