Turtle brownies

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

• Your favorite brownie box mix plus ingredients the directions call for

• 8 oz caramel sauce
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8 inch square pan with aluminum foil. Let the foil hang over the edges a bit. Spray with non stick spray. Mix together your boxed brownie mix according to package direction. Add the coffee, caramel sauce, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and chocolate chips to the mix and stir together. Evenly sprinkle the 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the batter. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
