Melt butter and toss pecan halves in it.
Lay pecans on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until pecans begin to dark slightly.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Chocolate Ganache

Heat the cream in the microwave until it begins to boil then pour over the chopped chocolate stirring until completely melted and smooth.

Spread caramel buttercream over the brownie and top with the next brownie layer. Add another layer of frosting and another layer of brownie.
Pour warm ganache over the top brownie and sprinkle with salted pecans and chopped Turtle candies.
Heat ¼ cup of dulce de leche in the microwave for about 15 seconds or until it is pourable and then drizzle over top of the cake.
