Description
Decadent and fudgy, these turtles brownies combine rich chocolate, gooey caramel, crunchy pecans, and a chocolate drizzle—just like the classic candy. Easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Additional melted chocolate or chocolate sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until well blended.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and slightly thick.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and half of the chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Immediately drizzle warm brownies with caramel sauce and spread to cover the top.
- Sprinkle remaining pecans over the caramel and drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Let cool completely in the pan. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
Notes
Swap pecans for walnuts or almonds if desired.
Swirl caramel into the batter before baking for extra richness.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the caramel for a salted caramel twist.
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
Add extra chocolate chunks on top before baking for more indulgence.
