Easy Turtle Bars 😍😋
These Easy Turtle Bars are a delicious combination of buttery shortbread, crunchy pecans, rich caramel, and chocolate. They come together quickly and disappear just as fast!
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
For the Topping:
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
3️⃣ Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the crust.
4️⃣ Make the caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bring to a gentle boil and let it bubble for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
5️⃣ Pour the hot caramel over the pecans and crust, spreading it evenly.
6️⃣ Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and the edges are lightly golden.
7️⃣ Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel layer. Let them sit for a few minutes until they begin to melt, then spread the chocolate evenly with a spatula.
8️⃣ Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares.
Enjoy these irresistible, buttery, and chocolatey Turtle Bars! 🍫🥰
