Turtle Brownies for Caramel Day!

If you like turtle stuff these are definitely for you. The turtle layer is about as thick as the brownie layer.  Just a warning, these are super messy and gooey, but thats what makes them good. I'm sad to say I used a boxed brownie mix, but I was in a hurry. Here's what you need for the turtle brownies
Brownie mix (or your favorite brownie recipe), caramel, pecans, chocolate chips, and an egg. Prepare the brownies as the box says
Pour into an 8x8 foil lined and greased pan
Bake for about 30 minutes. While the brownies are in the oven, prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, caramel, pecans, and chocolate chips
Mix all this together 
Pour on top of the cooked brownies and spread out carefully and evenly
Put back in the oven and bake for 5 more minutes. Pull those suckers out of the oven and let cool. Once they have cooled, pop them in the fridge for a couple of hours to harden up a little. If you don't, you'll get this..
Which wasn't such a bad thing, but I think it would've made them better. If only I had the patiences...

Turtle Brownies
1 box brownie mix (or your favorite brownie recipe)
1 egg
1/2 cup caramel
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup chocolate chips

Prepare the brownies as the box or recipe directs. Pour into a foil lined and greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake about 30 minutes. While the brownies are baking, prepare the turtle topping. In a mixing bowl, beat together the egg, caramel, pecans, and chocolate chips. Pour over the bake brownies. Put the brownies back in the oven and bake 5 more minutes. When they are done baking, let cool to room temp. Then chill in the fridge about 2 hours before cutting. Serve the ooey gooey brownies and enjoy :)
