Ingredients
For the Simple Fudge Brownies
- 4 eggs
- 1 ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups miniature chocolate chips
To finish the Turtle Brownies
- 2 - 13 oz bags of caramel candies, unwrapped
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ¾ cup pecans, roughly chopped

Instructions
To make the brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract. This will be a bit difficult, so don’t worry. You’re not doing anything wrong.
- Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir until combined. Add the butter/sugar to the cocoa/egg mixture and stir until combined.
- Add the flour and miniature chocolate chips, stirring until the flour just disappears and everything is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick, when inserted into the center, comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool for a bit in the pan.
To finish the Turtle Brownies
- Add the caramels and heavy cream to a medium, heavy-bottomed pot. Stir continuously until the caramel is melted and smooth.
- Pour the hot caramel over the brownies, smoothing into an even layer. Top with mini chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and sea salt.
- Wait as long as you can manage for the caramel to cool and set up a bit. Cut into bars and eat.
