Turtle Brownies

These easy semi-homemade brownies are so delicious, no one will know that you used a boxed brownie mix!! Toasted pecans and a rich caramel sauce make these fudgy brownies so decadent and loaded with flavor. It’s one of those desserts that are super impressive but don’t take a lot time to make. So when you’re not sure what to bring to a party, make these and I’m sure they will become one of your most requested desserts!!

Layers of:

• Brownie Mix: Use whatever brownie mix is your favorite! I like to make these with Ghirardelli Ultimate Chocolate brownie mix

• Pecans: Toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 350 for 7-10 minutes, making sure to turn half way and keeping a watchful eye on them…you don’t want the pecans to burn

• Caramel Sauce: Feel free to use store bought here for an even easier turtle brownie! I like to make my two ingredient caramel sauce (click link for caramel sauce recipe) for this recipe to give it more of a homemade touch
