1-Let’s dive into the fun part making these Turtles Brownies from scratch. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing or lining a 9×9 inch pan to keep things simple and mess-free. This step sets the stage for brownies that come out just right every time.

2-In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until they’re well mixed. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla, stirring everything until it forms a smooth batter. Fold in the milk chocolate chips to add those gooey pockets of chocolate goodness.

3-Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let the brownies cool for about 20 minutes before moving on. For the caramel, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then cook without stirring until it reaches 340-345°F.

4-Once the caramel is ready, remove it from the heat and slowly drizzle in the heavy cream, stirring in the butter pieces one at a time until smooth, followed by the vanilla. Let it cool completely. To assemble, spread the caramel over the cooled brownies, sprinkle on the chopped pecans, melt the chocolate chips with heavy cream and drizzle it over the top, then add a touch of sea salt.
