Poke Turtle Brownies - Guide Recipe
My favorite way to eat these rich , million dollar morsels is to microwave them for 10 seconds or so , just enough to warm the brownie , liquefy the caramel and soften the chocolate frosting to melt in your mouth heaven.

Instructions;
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Brownies: Add butter , sugar and cocoa powder to stand or hand mixer and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs to the batter one at a time , beating after each addition just until incorporated. Beat in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl , mix together flour , baking powder , salt and cinnamon then beat into batter just until combined. Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3/4 cups chopped pecans to batter and stir until just combined. Pour batter evenly into pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Let pan cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes then poke holes all over with the back of a wooden spoon. Pour 1/2 cup caramel over brownies and spread into holes with a spatula. Refrigerate brownies for one hour or freeze for 30 minutes to let the caramel set. Meanwhile , prepare the Chocolate Frosting.
- Chocolate Frosting: Beat butter , cocoa , corn syrup and vanilla in small bowl until blended. Add powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk and beat until smooth , adding additional milk if needed to reach spreading consistency.
- Once caramel has set , frost brownies with Chocolate Frosting (you don't have to use all of it but I highly recommend it!). Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup chopped pecans , 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and drizzle with 1/4 cup caramel.
- You can serve immediately or refrigerate to allow frosting to set and make cutting easier. I LOVE to microwave my brownie serving for 15 seconds or so before devouring.
