Buckeye turtle bars

made these for a party.  The topping part didnt stick very well to the brownie part.  Was vy tasty though.

Buckeye Turtle Brownies from mama gourmand
1 9X13 brownie mix

Peanut Butter Topping:
6 tbsp. butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. milk

Turtle Topping:
11 oz. bag of caramels, unwrapped (I just used a bag of caramel bits for simplicity)
2 tbsp. milk
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Chocolate Topping:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
course sea salt or fleur de sel, optional

Bake 9X13 brownie mix per box directions. Cool brownies completely.

PB topping: beat all ingredients in a med bowl  (will be very thick). Scoop spoonfuls of peanut butter topping all over cooled brownies. Press topping gently on cooled brownies using fingers.

Turtle topping: In a micro safe bowl place caramels and milk and heat on high  1 1/2 - 2 min, stopping to stir intermittently. Remove immediately just after caramels are almost smooth. Pour in chopped pecans, mix, and scoop in spoonfuls over pb layer. Use an offset spatula or spatula to smooth over peanut butter.

Choc topping: In another micro safe bowl melt chips and oil about 1 min, stirring occasionally til chocolate is about melted and smooth. Pour over caramel layer and smooth with offset spatula. Sprinkle with course sea salt.
