Gourmet chocolate brownies packed with chocolate, caramel, and pecans!

Provided by Lisa Huff

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unsalted butter ((2 sticks - half pound))
12 ounces dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
22 ounces caramel squares ((2 - 11 ounce bags, unwrap caramels))
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecans (halves or chopped)
12 ounces dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish. If desired, line the pan with parchment paper so that paper is along bottom and up the two longer sides and goes a little above top of pan sides.
  • Place butter, 1 (12 ounce) bag of chocolate chips, and coffee granules in top of double boiler over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, heat mixture until smooth (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set mixture aside to cool. [OR you can place ingredients in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.]
  • Whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well combined in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk cooled chocolate mixture into sugar/egg mixture, then stir in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Pour about half of chocolate brownie mixture into bottom of prepared 13x9-inch baking dish. Spread batter to cover bottom of pan into an even layer. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place unwrapped caramels, cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool. [OR you can place ingredients in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.]
  • When bottom brownie layer is done, remove from oven. (don't worry if it's not fully cooked). Sprinkle pecans on top of brownie layer. Drizzle cooled caramel on top, then sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Spoon remaining brownie batter on top and gently spread batter over chocolate chips to edges of pan to cover filling.
  • Bake brownies an additional 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F or until almost set in middle. Brownies may appear slightly underdone, but that's ok. Be careful to not overbake and dry out brownies.
  • Cool completely. For easy cutting, place brownies in fridge for several hours over overnight to firm. Gently lift on parchment paper to remove brownies from pan and remove paper. You may need to run a sharp knife around edge of pan to remove brownies. Cut brownies into squares. For a firmer fudgier brownie, store in fridge. Otherwise, store at room temperature for a few days.

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for dish
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups), plus 2 ounces melted
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups pecan halves (8 ounces)
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Caramel: Combine sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture boils, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until mixture turns medium amber, 3 to 4 minutes more. Carefully add cream in a slow stream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Let cool until caramel thickens slightly but is still pourable, about 10 minutes. Makes 1 cup. Use immediately.
  • Brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Line bottom and long sides with parchment, leaving an overhang; butter parchment.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. In a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water, melt chopped chocolate and butter with oil. Remove from heat. Add both sugars; whisk until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk until glossy, 1 minute. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined (do not overmix). Pour batter into prepared dish; smooth top with a spatula. Arrange pecans on top in a single layer.
  • Bake until a tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Drizzle caramel over brownies; let cool until set, 30 minutes. Drizzle with melted chocolate; sprinkle with flaky salt. Let chocolate set (refrigerate for a few minutes, if desired), then cut into squares and serve.

1 stick margarine
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped

  • Put the margarine and chocolate in a microwave safe container and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir to insure that the chocolate has melted. Microwave an additional 30 seconds, if needed.
  • With the mixer running, pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Add the flour and beat 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat an additional 30 seconds.
  • Spray the cake pan with a pan release spray and pour in the brownie batter. Place the pan on the top rack of the oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes until the center is barely set.* Remove the pan from the oven and let cool. Top with the ganache and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
  • To serve, remove from freezer and slice immediately. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
  • Put the chocolate chips and cream into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove the bowl and stir with a whisk or fork until well mixed. Use immediately. If using the ganache later it will need to be reheated.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and keep their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Turtle fudge brownies are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different types of nuts, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce. Or, for a fun twist, try making them in a mini muffin tin.
