Brownies are fabulous. Turtle candies are divine. And anything that melds these two all-time favorite treats can only be described as supernatural. So in this recipe, the dense, rich, chocolaty goodness of your classic brownie collides in a beautiful union with the sweet, chewy caramel, milk chocolate chunks, and famous pecan crunch that we all love about turtle candies.

Kick your sugar high up a notch with a sophisticated spin on the traditional candy apple; except set aside the apples for another dessert and indulge on the last of the season’s  fresh strawberries… add a dash of balsamic. Yes, that’s right: balsamic vinegar.

I’m not a coffee drinker, but if I were, this is the cookie I’d want to nosh on while sipping my cup of joe, espresso, or caramel macchiato. But don’t take my word for it: my java loving hubby gave the partnership two thumbs way up after “testing” the hazelnut butter “nutella” cookie with cup after cup of his favorite Just Us Coffee brew.
