Sometimes all you need is a spoon. Chocolate-covered brownie, caramel and nuts… Oh, my. This chocolate covered treat is the perfect dessert for any occasion! An easy recipe that comes together in a snap, this is one for the permanent file.
I am honored to be the official dessert bringer to all family gatherings. This past Christmas I had let time get away from me and I needed something super fabulous and I needed it super fast. Having a pan of my Lazy Day Brownies left from the homemade gifts we give out each year, I decided to create a fabulous trifle inspired by one of Chad's favorite candies.
He loves Turtles. No silly, not the 4 legged kind. The candy! Chocolate covered caramel and nuts... Oh my word! This Double Chocolate & Caramel Turtle Trifle was a hit! Not a bite left to take home and lots of recipe requests and you know what that means. LOVE.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

oh, holy heck. I just gasped. GORGEOUS shot and I am loving all the flavors. Of course, I am just a little bit partial to turtle flavor combinations! Awesome trifle that needs to be made again ASAP, preferably when I am visiting you next!
ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic desserts!
ReplyDeleteIf I make it the night before, do I refrigerate it? Does it need to be heated up before eating?
ReplyDeleteI have made this up to 2 days in advance. You do not heat it up, just serve it cool or allow to sit out for 10 minutes before eating to just take the chill off. Enjoy and let us know how it goes.
DeleteI just made it & it came out SO fabulously! I tripled the recipe & did it in one big dish instead of in individual dishes. Thank you so much for posting this. I am ridiculously excited about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post. I was just going to ask about making it in large trifle bowl and you answered my question.
DeleteYum!! looks so amazing and so easy!
ReplyDeleteCan you substitute cream with cool whip?
ReplyDeleteI hope so!!!
DeleteGoing to make this, but is it just Brownies
ReplyDeleteIs it ice cream as detailed in directions or whipping cream as mentioned in the ingredient list?
