What’s better than a candy turned into a brownie?  My sweet tooth is pretty ridiculous with this pregnancy.  I just can’t seem to get enough….

Turtle Fudge Brownies

  1. Prepare and fully bake brownies. Set aside to cool.
  2. Meanwhile make the caramel, at the very end stir in the chopped pecans.
  3. Pour mixture over the cooled brownies.
  4. Serve warm for a nice gooey treat or allow to cool completely for a more “clean” cut brownie.

Just a little update, I am now in my second trimester (17 weeks)  so things have settled down a bit.  My Crohn’s is calming down and I’m gaining some much needed energy.  The baby bump is definitely here!  I feel like it comes earlier with each pregnancy….

Hopefully I will be back to posting recipes and photos weekly! I wanted to apologize for not promptly responding to comments and emails, honestly there have been days, even weeks where I have not been online.  Thank you for your sweet thoughts and prayers.  So far mom and baby are healthy…. only 23 weeks to go!

Many blessings!
