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.
Chocolate Pecan Caramel Shortbread

We often coast through life putting up with the mundane things. We've got mouths to feed and bills to pay, and sometimes that's all we can think about.
An opportunity to bask in some fun knocks on your door, and all you do is scream at the top of your lungs "Go away!" You don't even know why you're screaming in the first place, perhaps to intimidate that little voice in your head that says "I want to have some fun." Time and again, the bigger voice in your head wins, one which incessantly blurts out "Responsibilities first!"
Fun need not be extravagant. Heck, you can have fun with just the mere use of your mind! If you just can’t find the resources to have the kind of fun you've always been passing on but always been dying to experience, just enjoy the little pleasures in life for now. Until then, opt for chocolate. Chocolate can always give you that, always.
