It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is TURTLE BROWNIES!

Who doesn’t love a pan full of yummy, gooey brownies? I love turtle candies, too, and this recipe gives you a taste of both. This is a wonderful panful of flavor that is always welcome at a Halloween party. 

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Karen
