Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for dish
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups), plus 2 ounces melted
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups pecan halves (8 ounces)
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Caramel: Combine sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture boils, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until mixture turns medium amber, 3 to 4 minutes more. Carefully add cream in a slow stream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Let cool until caramel thickens slightly but is still pourable, about 10 minutes. Makes 1 cup. Use immediately.
  • Brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Line bottom and long sides with parchment, leaving an overhang; butter parchment.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. In a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water, melt chopped chocolate and butter with oil. Remove from heat. Add both sugars; whisk until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk until glossy, 1 minute. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined (do not overmix). Pour batter into prepared dish; smooth top with a spatula. Arrange pecans on top in a single layer.
  • Bake until a tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Drizzle caramel over brownies; let cool until set, 30 minutes. Drizzle with melted chocolate; sprinkle with flaky salt. Let chocolate set (refrigerate for a few minutes, if desired), then cut into squares and serve.

Chocolate Turtle Brownies Recipe image

You'll love these brownies loaded with chocolate chips, caramel and nuts!

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups milk chocolate chips (divided)
1/2 cup butter (cut into pieces)
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
20 wrapped caramels
1 1/2 Tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non stick cooking spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and butter in a large bowl in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
  • Stir in eggs, flour, sugar, baking soda and vanilla. Stir together well.
  • Spread batter into the greased pan, then sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until set.
  • Microwave caramels and milk in a small bowl for about 1 minute. Stir and then continue to microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until all is melted and smooth. Drizzle over warm brownies.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use the best chocolate you can find, as it will make a big difference in the taste of the trifle.
  • Don't overmix the brownie batter: Overmixing will make the brownies tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the brownies dry, so bake them until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before assembling the trifle: This will help prevent the brownies from breaking apart.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Turtle brownie trifle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover brownies, and it is also a fun and creative way to serve them. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy caramel, and crunchy pecans, this trifle is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
