Turtle Bars

This bake-sale classic features a sandy soft crust, a layer of caramel and pecans, and a final chocolate topping.

Remember turtle bars from when you were a kid? That lovely sandy shortbread crust. A layer of caramel, pecans and gooey chocolate. It’s the perfect combination. Mix together the butter and the sugar on the stove. Pour that over your pecans in the crust. And then you let that caramel bake in the oven. It’s going to get nice and bubbly. Throw your chocolate chips on top, let them melt and then smooth them out. And that’s all it takes. Cut them into bars and serve.
