Terrific Turtle Brownies
by Cheryl McClure

Baking the perfect brownie is not easy, but a box mix simplifies the process immensely. Yet, you would never know from tasting these delicious brownies that they started with chocolate cake mix.

To make these brownies, you need the following ingredients:
1 package chocolate cake mix
1 package chocolate instant pudding
1 cup melted butter
1 cup evaporated milk, divided
1 package caramels (14 oz.)
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

In bowl, combine cake mix, dry pudding, butter, and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Press 1/2 of mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, in saucepan, melt caramels and remaining evaporated milk, stirring constantly. Spread caramel mixture over baked layer. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and pecans. Drop the remaining cake batter in teaspoonfuls over the brownies. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the top is set.

Serves 24.
