Turtle brownies are usually delicious, but the also call for numerous kinds of chocolate and homemade caramel. We created a similarly tasty recipe with less time and effort.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Instead of making a caramel sauce from scratch, we doctored up store-bought caramels. We parbaked the bottom layer and used nuts as a barrier to keep the caramel from sinking completely through the brownie.
