Turtle Brownies

 Brownies are one of the easy sweet recipes you can make ahead and they serve many. Mix, bake and let them set. This recipe shows that with a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a gooey chocolate dessert with a bit of crunch. Thanks to my friend Barb for this recipe.
