Turtle Brownies Recipe

May 24, 2020

I am revisiting this ooey gooey, super delicious recipe today because it reminds that baking from the pantry can be easy yet decadent. You see the day I came up with this recipe I found out I had to have a treat for the hubby to take to a meeting about 6 hours before he needed them. I panicked a little and then I went into the kitchen to see what I had to work with and the result was a dressed up brownie. Brownies are simple to bake and everyone loves them. Adding the traditional “turtle” flavors of caramel and nuts just made them extra special. I have to admit that I love the combination – I made a Turtle Cheesecake that was to.die.for and now I think I need to make it again. For a simpler application there are always Chocolate Chip Turtle Cookies.

How Were the Turtle Brownies?

I HAD to taste test these – I had to. Usually when I am baking for the hubby I don’t get to try what I make but seriously, would you be able to not sample these?  I will tell you that they were very good. Fudgy chocolate brownie, sweet caramel sauce, crunchy walnuts and the semi sweet chocolate chips were just what they needed to cut the sweet.

I will be making these again. They were easy to make and really tasty. I can imagine one warm from the oven with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. (Or my special homemade Spice Cream.) Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful way to celebrate … anything or nothing?

A fancier iteration of this delicious dessert can be found in my recipe for a Turtle Shortbread Cookie Tart. It doesn’t have the brownie goodness but it has all of the flavors you seek from turtle desserts.
