This recipe comes from Rose Murray’s A Year In My Kitchen cookbook and is a brownie to.die.for. To really go all out, use the brownies as a sundae base and top with chocolate, coffee or vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate sauce!

Sensational Turtle Brownies
Summary: These are a delicious treat. Tastes like those famous chocolates.
Ingredients
- Brownie:
- 1 cup butter, cut into pices
- 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1-3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs, well beaten
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup whipping cream (35% cream)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1-1/2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt butter with the chocolate. Stir in sugar until well combined. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring well after each addition.
- Pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake in a 400° oven for 10 minutes (Batter will not be totally cooked but will be set enough to add topping). (*At 10 minutes, my base was still pretty soft and didn’t quite firm up even after the second baking period. Next time I will cook the base until it is almost cooked and shorten up the second baking accordingly).
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine cream brown sugar and butter. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle partially baked brownie base with pecans. Drizzle evenly with the caramel syrup. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden but not browned.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let melt slightly for 1 to 2 minutes. Swirl with a knife so that some of the caramel and nuts show through. Let cool on a rack. Cut into squares.
- Makes 32 brownies (or 16 if using as a Sundae base)

You’re welcome, Ali. One of my favourite brownies. Glad you enjoyed them!
I wanted to say THANK-YOU for posting your recipe. These brownies are fantastic. I made them with and without the pecans for my friends with nut allergies. All enjoyed these and the plates were emptied quickly. I would recommend this to anyone who craves a fabulous, chewy turtle brownie.
