I am so excited to show you these pictures. These brownies were outrageous. I found them on a blog that was new to me and you must visit. It is called Mama Gourmand! Many creative and wonderful recipes for you! You can start these with any 9×13 brownies recipe you love  (or a box mix for those short on time) but I followed Mama Gourmand’s “stop looking” brownies. She named them that way because you can now stop looking for the perfect brownie recipe. Super Cute name!

    I haven’t made these brownies yet, but plan to. I saw the picture of the Buckeye Turtle Brownies in a Better Homes & Garden magazine and had to find it. Found Mama Gourmand’s sight and recipe, but also your’s and others. I see that you have taken it a couple steps further with the toasting of the pecans, yum, and caramel sauce to add more excitement! I am wondering if you made it “mamas way” first, then embellished? Or do you always toast your nuts? Also, in reviews on other sight, someone mentioned the layers seem to peel apart, I can see where that could happen with cooled caramel, have you seen that? and do you have any ideas on how to avoid it?
