Whether you’re hosting a rowdy watch party or hanging out with fellow sports fans, these brownies are sure to satisfy every sweet tooth in the room.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ¾ cup chopped pecans (toasted if desired)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk again until everything is smooth.
Gently sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep your brownies wonderfully fudgy. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, reserving the remaining half in the bowl.
Warm the caramel sauce slightly, then drizzle it over the brownie layer in the pan. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly across the top. Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over all that caramel goodness. Use a spatula to cover it thoroughly, then top with the chocolate chips.
Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not clean). Let the brownies cool before slicing into squares—if you can wait that long!
These turtle brownies are the ideal indulgence for anyone with a sweet spot for rich chocolate and silky caramel. You can swap pecans for walnuts or almonds, and if you’re watching sugar intake, consider using a reduced-sugar caramel sauce and dark chocolate chips. No matter how you slice them, these brownies are an MVP-worthy dessert to feed your game-day crowd and keep spirits high until the final whistle.
