How to Make Delicious Turtle Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished squares out easily.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  6. While the crust is baking, prepare the caramel layer. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies according to package directions. Stir until smooth.
  7. Once the crust is baked, let it cool slightly before spreading the melted caramel evenly over the top.
  8. Sprinkle the pecan halves over the caramel layer.
  9. In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  10. Pour the melted chocolate over the pecan layer and spread evenly.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
  12. Once set, lift the squares out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
