Bringing you a rich treat on this gloomy Fall day – Turtle brownies with homemade salted caramel! My goey brownies are always on repeat at our house but one day I decided I wanted to take them to the next level. Enter pecans and homemade salted caramel.
I absolutely l.o.v.e. salted caramel, especially my homemade recipe. It’s more of a sauce than a spread which makes it so versatile. This salted caramel is perfect to drizzle on ice cream, brownies, apple pie, crepes but also great to incorporate in your baked goods such as salted caramel frosting, caramel stuffed cupcakes etc. For this recipe, I added salted caramel on top of the brownie batter before baking and drizzled some more on top because in my opinion, you can never have enough salted caramel 🧡
Remember how I just said I drizzled more salted caramel on top? Well maybe it was a bit of an understatement since I may have actually spread some all over one piece before eating it 😬 (and it was delicious! #noregrets)
These turtle brownies will (hopefully) rock your world! They are rich, have the nice crackled top and the chocolate pairs so well with the pecans and salted caramel. Definitely an indulgent treat but so perfect for those cold days ahead of us.

Notes
I personally like to add my pecans on top of the brownies rather than mix them in completely. If adding them on top, slightly push them in the batter.
Do not bake the brownies for longer than 20 minutes! They will look a little underdone but they will continue to bake in the pan once out of the oven. If you bake them longer, they will be more cakey than goey.
