Ultimate Turtle Brownies

Not your everyday brownies…but should be!

1 (15.25 oz) box chocolate cake mix
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup each white chips, milk chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
32 Kraft caramels, unwrapped

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 13″x9″ baking pan with nonstick spray. Combine cake mix, oil, and eggs. Mix in all the chips. Press half of the mixture into bottom of prepared baking pan (will be a thin layer). Bake 10 minutes.

While baking, in medium saucepan, combine butter, sweetened condensed milk, and caramels. Heat over medium-low heat until melted and smooth (stir constantly). Pour over partially baked brownies in baking pan. Top with remaining brownie mixture, sprinkle over caramel mixture with your fingers (a bit messy) to make an even layer. Brownie mixture will not totally cover the caramel mixture, pat down a bit, it will spread and bake up nicely. Return to oven and bake 25-30 minutes. Remove, cool 20 minutes and run knife around edges. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Recipe found at allfood.recipes.

Very Versatile Perfect Cookies

The original recipe comes from picky-palate.com, her recipe for How to make Perfect M and M Cookies. I have made this recipe quite a few times in the past few months, I just switch up the flavor instant pudding I use and the types of chips, nuts, etc. to change up the taste. Pictured here, I made one cookie with coconut pudding, white chocolate chips, coconut, and macadamia nuts. The other uses chocolate pudding, dark chocolate cocoa, dark chocolate chips, and cinnamon chips. Infinite combinations, I can’t wait to try more!
