Method

Brownie Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt Butter

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Stir in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  5. 5

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake Brownies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Topping Preparation

  1. 7

    Add Toppings

    Once the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

  2. 8

    Drizzle with Caramel

    Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the brownies.

  3. 9

    Sprinkle Pecans

    Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel layer.

  4. 10

    Melt and Drizzle Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the additional chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pecans and caramel.

  5. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy your homemade turtle brownies!
