Turtle Bars are a dessert inspired by Turtle candies. They consist of layers: a buttery crust, crunchy pecans, a caramel layer, and a smooth chocolate topping. These layers create a mix of textures and flavors, resembling the classic candies. After baking and cooling, the bars are cut into squares for serving.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pecan pieces

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions:

Creating the Crust:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, and brown sugar. Use a pastry blender or a fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Press the crumbly mixture firmly into an ungreased 9″ x 13″ pan to form an even crust.
  3. Sprinkle the pecan pieces evenly over the crust.

Preparing the Caramel Layer:

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
  2. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  3. Carefully pour the caramel evenly over the crust and pecans.

Baking:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Adding the Topping:

  1. Once the crust is baked, remove the pan from the oven.
  2. Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the hot crust. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to soften and melt.
  3. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate chips evenly over the surface of the bars.

Cooling and Serving:

  1. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
  2. Once cooled, slice the bars into your desired portion sizes using a sharp knife.
  3. Serve and enjoy these delectable Turtle Bars!

Note: Store any leftover bars in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
