How to Make Turtle Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Press the mixture firmly into an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Evenly spread 1 cup pecan halves over the crust.
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine 2/3 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for exactly 1 minute.
- Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the pecans.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over the warm caramel.
- Let stand for 3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften slightly.
- Using a spatula or knife, gently spread the melted chocolate, leaving some chocolate chips whole for texture.
- Let the Turtle Bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
