I got to spend all day today out and about in downtown San Diego. I forgot how beautiful this city was. There’s so much to do and eat, including hole in the wall burrito places that need to be discovered. As much as I indulged in all of the savory food down here, I didn’t manage to get any sweets. Oh how I could go for one of these brownies right now!
These brownies are an easy way to impress guests without too much effort. They’re “simply homemade!” The brownies came from a box mix, but those caramels are surely time consuming to melt down. A touch of pecans and you’re good to go!
Easy Turtle Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box of brownie mix and the ingredients needed on the back of the box
- 16 oz of caramels, unwrapped
- 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cups chopped pecans, divided
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the brownie batter as advised on the back of the box.
- Pour half of the brownie mixture into a greased or lined 8x8 pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the brownies are cooking, melt the caramels and whipping cream in a double boiler until evenly melted, stirring constantly.
- Evenly pour the caramel sauce on top of the brownies and top with 1/3 of the chopped pecans. Top with the rest of the brownie batter and the last 1/3 cup of pecans.

I’m so blessed to be able to live in this beautiful city! These brownies look delicious. What a great way to dress up box mix.
I have to say Kim, I stopped following your blog religiously when you asked for money for your dog and then posted your Ebay account showing you were also buying really expensive purses at the same time. I still check in occasionally, but these new (ish) ads have made your blog totally unreadable… how distracting! I don’t need any recipes that bad! Maybe it’s time to reconsider the direction your blog is going. From one blogger to another…
How do you think doubling the recipe would affect the cooking time?
These turtle brownies sounds insane! Love it!
