Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 30 caramel squares, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup milk chocolate (for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually mix the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring until smooth.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together into the wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel squares with the heavy cream in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, until smooth and pourable.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the partially baked brownie layer, then drizzle the melted caramel evenly on top.
Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel and pecan layer, ensuring an even cover.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie (not the caramel) comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth, and drizzle it over the cooled brownies.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your Super Duper Turtle Brownies!
