Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For best results, make sure Rolo® pieces remain separate when sprinkling on brownie so there is caramel in every piece!
  • tip 2
    To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • tip 3
    To toast pecans, heat oven to 350°F. Spread nuts in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
  • tip 4
    Use a knife to drag back and forth through the brownie batter and cheesecake mixture, but not too much or the marbleized look will blur.
  • tip 5
    When cutting these Turtle Cheesecake Brownies, use a sharp knife and wipe clean after each cut.
