    These Touchdown Turtle Brownie Bites are a deliciously easy way to celebrate game day! Rich chocolate brownies baked in a mini muffin pan topped with a chocolate covered caramel and football shaped pretzels with pecans!

    Touchdown Turtle Brownie Bites

    Can you just smell the goodness going on when brownies are baking and they come out of the oven and are topped with a chocolate covered caramel candy? That gooey melted caramel oozing over a decadently rich brownie!

    Well it gets a little better with pretzels and pecans! I mean a dreamy bite if I ever saw one!

    Keeping recipes simple doesn't mean they lack in taste or in presentation. These are super cute and perfect for Super Bowl Sunday, a college game tailgate, or a day with friends gathered around the TV cheering on your favorite team!

    This is the perfect treat for any gathering! But when it's game day season I grab a bag of  football shaped pretzels to make this a fun way to cheer on the team and have the crowds a cheering with all the goodness they are biting into!

    It's a WIN for the TEAM and for the COOK too!

    Bake brownies until done. About 12 to 15 minutes. These bake pretty quickly in a mini muffin tin.

    While they are still hot stuff a Rolo into the center of the brownie. Then press in the pretzel slightly so it will stick and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
