8-Layer Caramel Turtle Brookie Bars (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

in #food7 years ago

Apparently I like putting words together as much as I like fusing food flavors. It’s probably best if you just go with it.

Can you believe it's mid-August already? Wow, I feel like someone stole the first two-thirds of my year. I don’t really like August all that much. Actually, if I had to choose a least favorite month in the year it would probably be this one. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with it really, it’s just that there isn’t anything special about it. There’s nothing to look forward to in August and I kind of forget about it until it gets here. However this year it's been very eventful because I've been moving and getting so many things done.

I think another reason that I’m a little prejudice against it is that it always seemed like the longest, hottest month of summer when I was growing up in Tennessee. I can almost feel the cut-the-air-with-a-knife humidity right now just thinking about it, yuck. The only redeemable aspect I can think of were the summer storms, which I do really miss. Other than that though, it was mostly the miserable month that we spent trying to stay cool in the pool.

Sorry, I’ll stop complaining right now. In fact, I’m going to put on my positive pants and I refuse to let this August be a bad one and truthfully it hasn't. Thinking happy thoughts, and speaking of which, let’s talk about these little pieces of heaven in bar form.

It’s probably just the indecisive part of me speaking, but I can’t help admitting that I think there’s something genius about a brookie. I mean why choose between a cookie and a brownie when you can have them both at the same time! These brookie bars are extra amazing because they have a bonus layer of caramel and layers of chocolate chunks and, (the nuts that I prize more than any other now because I can’t get them here) pecans! That’s right, what you’re looking at is a layer of cookie bar, topped with caramel, then a fudgy brownie layer, then a layer of chocolate, then pecans, then more cookie, then more chocolate, then more pecans for a total of 8 decadent layers!

They take just a bit longer than your average Jo cookie bar because you have to let a few layers bake and then cool off a little before adding more. They are pretty simple though and so worth the effort! Here’s to making August awesome by eating these all month!

I think you born to bake. Looks yummy! Have a wonderful day. Tess :)

So sweet of you @tesscooks4u! Thanks, mi amiga!

Looks super yummy! Your pictures are amazing! Great work! Thanks for sharing!

I love to be sharing it @mmjintheusa! Thanks for reading!

You're killing me! These look amazing!

Now I have to decide if I want to make these or the samoas first....

I grew up in Tennessee too and can totally relate to that humidity you're talking about, but August is definitely my favorite month! It's all about being in the throws of summer, being care free, soaking in the sun and cool refreshing dips in the water, being outside, get togethers and good food. I always feel most alive in summer and August in general. To be fair, I do live in the pacific northwest now where it's 9 months of gray so.....

I really miss the storms of Tennesse too, those were so incredible, and the fireflies, definitely the fireflies.

I laughed when you made your "positive pants" comment, I'll have to remember that one.

Thanks so much @raised2b! It's good to hear from a fellow Tennessean and I love hearing your perspective of August. You definitely know how to wear your " positive pants", hehe. I will definitely say that this August that I've been spending in Idaho has fit your description so much more than the ones I just described from my childhood.

That's awesome. I can replace it with protein bars, as they contain 4 eggs that equivalent to 24gm, more than what protein bars offers.
Thanks for sharing :D

You're welcome and I'm so happy you like them @rahul516! Thanks my friend!

I want to eat this!!!!

I just had my dinner... and I saw this. And now I want it!
Oh my... all those layers together. That must be pure pleasure exploding in a mouth!

Yes there's a lot of flavors in these 8 layers, @ewkaw! I hope you can try them!

One day... too hot to bake now :)
But it has everything I like so... The day will come :d

Just looking at them is making me hungry! Hehe :D
Nice! Keep it up!

Way to go putting those positive pants on :) These look great, and I'm sure they help you forget your August misery for at least a few minutes. :)
