Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chocolate truffles, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the 1 cup of chopped pecans and 1 cup of chopped chocolate truffles into the brownie batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Drizzle half of the 1 cup of caramel sauce over the batter.
- Carefully pour the remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel layer and spread it out evenly. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the brownies.
- Using a knife or a toothpick, gently swirl the caramel into the brownie batter for a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy your delicious Turtle Caramel Truffle Brownies!
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality chocolate truffles and pure vanilla extract. The better the ingredients, the richer your brownies will taste.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies, so be careful!
- Check for Doneness: Baking times may vary depending on your oven. Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes. The brownies should be set but still slightly moist in the center.
- Cooling is Key: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set properly and makes cutting easier.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of additional caramel sauce on top.
