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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish. If desired, line the pan with parchment paper so that paper is along bottom and up the two longer sides and goes a little above top of pan sides.
- Place butter, 1 (12 ounce) bag of chocolate chips, and coffee granules in top of double boiler over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, heat mixture until smooth (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set mixture aside to cool. [OR you can place ingredients in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.]
- Whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well combined in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk cooled chocolate mixture into sugar/egg mixture, then stir in flour mixture until just combined.
- Pour about half of chocolate brownie mixture into bottom of prepared 13x9-inch baking dish. Spread batter to cover bottom of pan into an even layer. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place unwrapped caramels, cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool. [OR you can place ingredients in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.]
- When bottom brownie layer is done, remove from oven. (don't worry if it's not fully cooked). Sprinkle pecans on top of brownie layer. Drizzle cooled caramel on top, then sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Spoon remaining brownie batter on top and gently spread batter over chocolate chips to edges of pan to cover filling.
- Bake brownies an additional 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F or until almost set in middle. Brownies may appear slightly underdone, but that's ok. Be careful to not overbake and dry out brownies.
- Cool completely. For easy cutting, place brownies in fridge for several hours over overnight to firm. Gently lift on parchment paper to remove brownies from pan and remove paper. You may need to run a sharp knife around edge of pan to remove brownies. Cut brownies into squares. For a firmer fudgier brownie, store in fridge. Otherwise, store at room temperature for a few days.

Tips:
- For the fudgy brownies, make sure to use melted butter and not oil. Oil will make the brownies too cakey and dry.
- Don't overmix the brownie batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- For the caramel layer, use a good quality caramel sauce. You can also make your own caramel sauce by melting sugar and butter together in a saucepan.
- When making the ganache, make sure to use heavy cream and not milk. Milk will make the ganache too thin.
- Don't overheat the ganache. Overheating will cause the ganache to seize.
- To assemble the turtle fudge brownies, start by spreading a layer of caramel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Top the caramel sauce with the brownies.
- Pour the ganache over the brownies.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the ganache.
- Refrigerate the brownies for at least 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Turtle fudge brownies are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a fudgy brownie base, a layer of caramel, and a rich ganache topping, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
