Equipment

9 x 13 Baking Pan

Ingredients

Brownie Batter:

1 Cup Unsalted Butter 2 sticks - half pound
12 Ounces Dark Chocolate Chips
1 Tsp Instant Coffee Granules
4 Eggs
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
¾ Cup Flour
1½ Tsp Baking Powder
½ Tsp Salt

Caramel Filling:

2 (11 oz) Kraft Caramel Bits (or 70 caramel squares)
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 tsp Salt

Additional Ingredients:

2 Cups Pecans
12 oz Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a medium saucepan and melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate chips together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Stir in the instant coffee granules until dissolved, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
While the bottom crust is baking prepare the caramel filling, combine the Kraft Caramel Bites (or caramel squares), heavy whipping cream, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the caramel is melted and smooth. Another option is to melt and combine the ingredients on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
Pour the caramel sauce over the brownie in the pan, then sprinkle the pecans and the dark chocolate chips.
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the caramel, pecans, and chocolate chips, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy the rich, decadent flavors of these caramel turtle brownies!
