Not sure how to make it clicky, maybe click on the html icon.?

Just wanted to say that your recipe for brownies on the April blog looks awesome.  If I had caramels, I would totally make them today since it's cold and snowy outside.

Ultimate Turtle Brownies

1

box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker? Original Supreme Premium brownie mix

Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box

36

caramels, unwrapped (from 14 oz bag)

3

tablespoons whipping cream

1 1/3

cups semisweet chocolate chunks (from 11.5 oz bag)

2/3

cup coarsely chopped pecans

1. Heat oven to 350?F (325?F for dark or nonstick pan). LINE PAN WITH FOIL AND SPRAY WITH COOKING SPRAY - IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO GET THEM OUT OF THE PAN THAT WAY!! Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread 1/2 of batter in pan. Bake 18 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in large microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and whipping cream uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
3. Pour caramel over partially baked brownie; spread to within 1/4 inch of edges. Sprinkle with 2/3 cup of the chocolate chunks and 1/3 cup of the pecans. Drop remaining brownie batter by small spoonfuls onto caramel layer. Sprinkle with remaining 2/3 cup chocolate chunks and 1/3 cup pecans.
4. Bake 34 to 37 minutes longer or until center is almost set. Cool 1 hour at room temperature. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour before serving. For brownies, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.

Makes 24 brownies
