This turtle brownie recipe is perfect for those who love chocolate, caramel, and pecans. If you want an easy recipe to make turtle brownies with cake mix, this recipe is for you.
Everyone loves turtle brownies, these brownies are full of ooey gooey caramel, semisweet chocolate chips, and chopped pecans. To make this recipe super easy you are going to start with a box of cake mix. I love to use a dark chocolate cake mix because it will give you a full rich chocolate flavor.
I have served these brownies for company that they thought these brownies look and they tasted amazing. Adding caramel to brownies combines the flavors that everyone seems to love, I mean who can turn down caramel and chocolate?
Caramel brownies are a crowd pleaser, and for this recipe, you will need to purchase some wrapped caramels that you will find in the candy section of the grocery store. Caramel sauce will not harden like the wrapped caramels.
Alice Medrich’s Cookies and Brownies is a great source for even more brownie recipes.

These turtle brownies were fun to make, quite easy peasy in fact, and delicious. They are nearly as rich as our family’s favorite turtle candies from the local candy shop. I think they would be totally yummy as a dessert served with vanilla ice cream on your loveliest of dessert dishes for a dinner party. Pop a pecan in the ice cream for an extra flourish, and you are straight on your way to caramely heaven!
