Ingredients You'll Need For This Recipe:

• 1 box of Devils Food Cake Mix
• ½ cup of Butter or Margarine
• 5 oz of Evaporated Milk
• 11 oz Caramel Bits
• 1 cup of Milk Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped
• Cooking Spray

Turtle Brownies Recipe Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350º degrees.

Spray a 13x9 inch cake pan with cooking spray.

In a microwave-proof bowl, melt the butter. Then add in the cake mix and ⅓ cup of the evaporated milk.

Stir together until everything is completely mixed. The brownie batter will be thick almost like cookie dough.

Spread half of the brownie dough into your 13x9-inch pan.

Bake in the oven for 6 minutes.

While the brownies are baking begin making your caramel sauce.

In a medium-sized stovetop pan pour in the package of caramel and ⅓ cup evaporated milk.

Over low heat, slowly melt these two ingredients together, stirring often.

Don't worry if there are still a few chunks of caramel, because it will melt when the brownies go back into the oven.

On the baked brownies evenly spread out your chopped pecans and chocolate chips.

Drizzle the caramel sauce all over until every last yummy drop is on the brownies.

Take small handfuls of the remaining brownie dough and flatten with your fingers and place it on top of the caramel layer.

Place those pieces all over the pan to cover as much as you can. You may have some holes but once baked you will not be able to tell.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Let cool for several hours before serving.

In 2-3 hours it will be ooey gooey, in 4 to 5 hours it is firmer.

I actually like the brownies better on the second day. They firm up a bit more and are not as ooey gooey but still soft and yummy.

Cut them into squares and serve!

These brownies are so yummy they just make me happy!

Go make these today, right now... I mean it. You will not be disappointed!

Don't be afraid to test with variations too. I have substituted it with white chocolate and even mint chocolate. Yum!
