Alright, who’s ready for another republish? Yes, no? Well, either way, you’re getting one, LOL.

However, this is one to be excited about. Turtle brownies, I can’t think of a more decadent dessert.

This recipe was originally published back in April of 2016. Unfortunately, it has not done well.

As the years have gone by, Kim and I realized that long recipes just don’t produce results.

So, she made a lot of changes to this one. Going from a homemade recipe to a semi-homemade version using a brownie mix.

Hopefully, you everyone will enjoy them and find these turtle brownies as tasty as the last ones.

Directions for Turtle Brownies:

Brownie Mix:

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a nine by thirteen (9 by 13) inch cake pan. We use non-stick cooking spray most of the time and it works just fine.

After that, grab a large mixing bowl and toss in the brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. You can use a whisk or hand mixer to combine the ingredients into a smooth batter.

When the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared cake pan and bake the turtle brownies for twenty to twenty-five (20-25) minutes.

Or, until they’re done using the, “toothpick,” method.

Once baked, set them on a cooling rack to cool. It’s time for the easiest part, assembly.

Topping and Assembly:

When the they have cooled, use a wooden spoon or dowel rod to poke holes into the brownies. According to Kim, only poke them about half-way through.

Do not go all the way to the bottom of the pan. At this point, you can now start pouring on the caramel sauce.

Try to drizzle it evenly over the cooked brownies. Then use a rubber spatula to smooth it all out.

All that’s left to do now is to sprinkle the pecans and drizzle the chocolate sauce over the turtle brownies. This time, however, you won’t use a spatula to even out the sauce.

Leave it , “as-is.” The final step is to place the pan into your fridge for one to two hours to set.

Afterward, cut the turtle treats into twenty even-sized squares and serve. Kim and I hope you enjoy this recipe and like the changes we made.

Tips for Turtle Brownies:

Okay, if you’re interested in making your own caramel sauce, or can’t find it locally, then click the link. This is the same sauce we use in a lot of our homemade desserts.
For the best brownies, Kim recommends using the, “cake-like,” brownie mix option. The, “fudgy,” versions are great, but can’t hold up to all those sweet toppings.
Kim prefers to reheat her brownies in the microwave for a few seconds, after they’ve been stored in the fridge.
