Turtle Brownies

Turtle Brownies Tips

How do you store turtle brownies?

Keep brownies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for 3 days. Though they may last a bit longer in the refrigerator, they’ll likely dry out. You can also freeze uncut brownies and bars.

Can you use brownie mix for turtle brownies?

Yes! You can definitely use a brownie mix in a 13x9 pan for this recipe. Though, it will have a more cakelike texture than this fudgy homemade brownie. Our brownie mix taste tests revealed Duncan Hines would be a good fit, since it already makes batter for a 13x9 pan. (Some mixes make a smaller batch, so you might need two.)

What other ingredients can you add to turtle brownies?

Traditional turtle recipes with the combination of chocolate with caramel and pecans don’t leave much room for improvement, but you could consider mix-ins like chopped pecans, semisweet chocolate chips, or caramel baking bits to your brownie batter to amp up the flavor. Some people like to nest a layer of Caramello bars inside the brownie batter before baking. For other brownie variations, check out our contest-winning brownies and bars.
