Ingredients
  

  • 18.3 ounce Boxed Brownie Mix
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 tablespoon Water
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Pecans
  • 1 cup Caramel Baking Bits
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a pan with parchment paper or grease it with some non stick cooking spray.
  • Add the brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs to a large bowl and stir with the spatula until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Set a small amount of the pecans, caramel bits and chocolate chips aside to top the brownies with. Then fold the remaining pecans, caramel bits and chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, spread batter almost filling each of the cavities. Sprinkle a few chopped pecans, caramel bits and chocolate chips on the top of each.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once the brownies are done, remove the pan from the oven, place on a wire rack and allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.  If you have trouble removing the brownies from the pan, gently run a butterknife around all of the edges of each brownie.

Notes

To add some more crunch factor to these turtle brownies, you can use toasted pecans instead of regular pecans that we used.
Semi sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips are two other good additions to the brownie batter.
If you're making homemade brownies, and not used a boxed mix, make sure you use the highest quality ingredients like unsweetened cocoa powder (ideally Dutch process cocoa powder), unsalted butter, granulated sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, baking soda and some light brown sugar for the flour mixture.
Remember to use unsweetened or semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, or you'll end up making the brownies overly sweet.
Make sure the brownies cool completely before you try to remove them from the pan and cut them.
If you love the flavor of caramel, you can also mix some caramel sauce into the batter as you're pouring it into the prepared pan. Remember not to overmix the caramel layer and let it shine through.
