How to Make The World's Best Turtle Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter.
  4. Add 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 4 large eggs. Mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1 ½ cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  8. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. While brownies bake, prepare the caramel topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup caramels, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
  11. In another small saucepan, melt ½ cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until smooth.
  12. Once brownies are baked, let them cool slightly.
  13. Drizzle the caramel over the warm brownies in a diagonal pattern.
  14. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel in the opposite direction.
  15. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup chocolate chips and remaining pecans.
  16. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
