Pecan Turtle Brownies

April 30, 2014

Here is something you will learn eventually. Either a person like nuts in his or her brownies, or they don’t.

There are people that I personally know who had sworn off nuts, and it’s not because of allergies and whatnot. They simply aren’t fans of the taste. Or texture? But whatevs. Me, I will forever love nuts in my brownies (and cookies, and frosting, among many others)!

There is one thing that’s hard to resist, though. And it’s turtle brownies! Even the finickiest eater cannot say no when you play the turtle card. I’ve always been a loud and proud pecan-lover, and it goes without saying it’s one of the things that make me gush about this recipe. However, you can choose to top these brownies with a thick layer of caramel, chocolate chips and pecans.

Seriously though, could you say no to these?

Pecan Turtle Brownies

• 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening, solid
• 8 ounce fudge brownie mix
• 1/2 of 8 ounce white frosting mix,
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Using shortening, grease 7 1/2x11-inch baking dish. In large bowl, combine brownie mix, frosting mix, butter or margarine, maple syrup, corn syrup, water and eggs. Spread batter in prepared dish; sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 350° 30 to 32 minutes. Remove from oven; cool until just warm. Cut into squares.

Enjoy! 🙂
