Poetry

If ever there was a poetic fruit, pears are it. Possibly pomegranates, strawberries, peaches, grapes, and certainly mangoes. Well, there goes the plug for my poetic pear.

Chocolate Turtle Brownies

This recipe is an adaptation from a little Nestle recipe pamphlet.  With chocolate, caramel and pecans it is extremely rich and chocolate-y, as I am sure you can imagine.


12 oz. semi-sweet choc. chips; divided
1/2 c. butter, cut- up
3 eggs
1 1/4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. chopped pecans
caramel ice cream topping or *12 caramels.

Melt 1 c. choc. chips and butter in microwave for 1 minute; stir.  Melt at additional 10-20 second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.  Stir in eggs.  Add flour, sugar, vanilla, and soda (will be very thick) Spread batter in 13x9 baking pan.  Sprinkle remaining chips and walnuts.  Bake in preheated oven at 350* for 20-25 minutes or until wooden pick comes out slightly sticky.  Drizzle caramel over warm brownies.  Cool completely in pan on wire rack.  Cut into bars.
*add 1 TB milk to caramels and melt over low heat.

ooh... just a thought... I wonder how this would taste with a little bit of course salt sprinkled on the caramel. I mean, a very little bit of salt, but that sweet and salty combination might be perfect for this rich dessert.
