Turtle Brownies
Description
This recipe for Turtle Brownies starts by melting caramel with sweetened condensed milk to create a luscious caramel sauce. The dry chocolate cake mix is combined with melted butter, additional sweetened condensed milk, and chopped pecans to form a thick batter. Half of this batter is baked briefly, then topped with chocolate chips, more pecans, and the caramel mixture. The remaining batter is pressed over the caramel layer, topped with extra chocolate chips, and baked again. The result is a multi-layered dessert featuring a moist chocolate cake texture with a soft caramel core and crunchy pecans dispersed throughout.
The brownies are best cooled completely in the pan to allow the layers to set, making them easier to cut into squares. This dessert offers a combination of textures and rich flavors that meld together during baking.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces caramel wrapped
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk divided use
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1 .24-ounce box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup pecans divided use, roughly chopped
- 12 ounces chocolate chips divided use, semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Unwrap the caramels and melt them with 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk in a pan on the stovetop or in a bowl in the microwave.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining sweetened condensed milk with the melted butter, dry cake mix, and 1/2 cup pecans. The batter will be thick.
- Place half of the brownie batter in the greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with 1 cup of chocolate chips and the remaining pecans. Pour the caramel mixture on top.
- Flatten the remaining batter by pressing it between your hands and place it over the caramel. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips and bake for 15 more minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Cut the brownies into squares and enjoy!
