"I changed this recipe quite a bit. I didn't have pecans so I used walnuts. After reading the reviews, I decided not to drizzle the caramel over the brownies after they were baked instead I swirled it ..." See morein with a knife along w/ the nuts before baking.They turned out wonderfully."

"I love this recipe because turtles are my favorite candy. I also found the caramels hardened too much on top, so I added butter continuously while melting the caramel until it remained soft on my stir..." See more spoon after cooling. That fixed the problem and these brownies never stay in the house more than one day."

"These are good, but just a touch too dry for my families taste. Ice cream over it solves that however. ;) Also, just a tip for people who are new to cooking, cream the sugar and butter first before..." See more adding the cocoa and such. Otherwise you just work too hard getting the butter to fully blend."
