Turtle Bars

Turtle Bars

These Turtle Bars are a must make for the holidays, or any time of year! A buttery shortbread crust with a homemade caramel filling, nutty pecans and a milk chocolate topping creates these mouthwatering bars!

For the Crust:

  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 cup of pecan pieces

  1. To create the crust, mix together the butter, flour, and brown sugar using either a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
  2. Next, press the mixture into a 9″ x 13″ ungreased pan and sprinkle the pecan pieces on top.


For the Caramel Layer:

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

  1. To make the caramel layer, mix together the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring continuously, until boiling. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute.
  2. Pour the mixture over the crust evenly.
  3. Bake the crust in the oven for 20 minutes at 350°F.

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup of milk chocolate chips

  1. Once the crust is removed from the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips over it. Let the chips sit for 5 minutes to allow them to melt and then spread evenly over the surface of the bars.
  2. Allow the bars to cool, then slice them into the desired portion sizes.

Enjoy!
