1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Awesome Turtle Brownies

4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
3/4 butter or regular margarine
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 pkg (14 oz) caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups pecans or walnut halves, divided
1 pkg (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional

Heat oven to 350 F. Grease a foil lined 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
Microwave chocolate squares and butter on high for 2 minutes or until the
butter is melted. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir the
sugar into the chocolate until well blended. Mix in the eggs. Stir in the
flour. Spread one-half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the batter is firm to the touch. Meanwhile,
microwave the caramels and the cream on high for 3 minutes or until
caramels begin to melt. Whisk until smooth. Stir in one cup of the nuts.
Gently spread the caramel mixture over the brownie batter. Sprinkle with
chocolate chips, if desired. Pour remaining unbaked brownie batter evenly
over the caramel mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining nuts. Some of the
caramel mixture may peak through. Bake an additional 30 minutes. Cool in
pan on wire rack. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen
brownies from the sides. Lift from baking dish using the foil as handles.
Cut into squares.
