How to Make Butter Pecan Turtle Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
- Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 cup pecan halves over the unbaked crust.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 2/3 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar dissolves.
- Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the caramel thickens slightly.
- Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the pecan layer.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and the crust is lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the warm caramel.
- Let the chocolate melt slightly, then spread it evenly with a spatula or knife.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting and to set the chocolate.
