Boy there are just some days that you really need some chocolate like these rich and chocolatey Turtle Brownies! Yesterday was definitely one of those days. With graduation this past weekend I had to say goodbye to a few of my closest friends.

Rich chocolaty brownies filled with sweet gooey caramel and crunchy pecans... these delicious Turtle Brownies are going to blow your mind!We all met at the beginning of our husband’s first year of medical school. We started to hang out together because our husbands were gone from 6am-10pm studying everyday and we needed social interaction. Soon, we found that we had more in common and started getting together multiple times a week to have our kids play together so we could chat, have girls nights, force our husbands to take a break from studying and have game night with us…

We were there for each other during miscarriages, deaths of family members, being pregnant all at the same time, births of our children, moving, motherhood… without any family in town, we became each other’s family and celebrated birthdays, holidays, and our successes together. I learned so much from these amazing strong woman and am so grateful for the joy they brought to my life during these last four years. Going from living 200 feet apart to 2,000 miles apart is going to be quite the adjustment. Thank heaven for FaceTime!Rich chocolaty brownies filled with sweet gooey caramel and crunchy pecans... these delicious Turtle Brownies are going to blow your mind!

Well, about these brownies! I grew up eating these amazing brownies and I have yet to find a better one. They are incredibly addicting. You’re supposed to let them cool completely before cutting into them… if you have the self-control. But they are amazing warm and with ice cream! Gosh just talking about these makes me drool and want to make them again.Rich chocolaty brownies filled with sweet gooey caramel and crunchy pecans... these delicious Turtle Brownies are going to blow your mind!

I’m a big fan of anything “turtle”. Gooey caramel, rich chocolate, and crunchy pecans is the perfect combination for almost any dessert. Wouldn’t you agree?!? Bring these to a party and the whole pan will be eaten right up, so make sure you save one (or three!) for yourself before sharing.

If you’re look for more chocolate, a few other friends of mine are sharing delicious chocolate treats too:
