How to Make Turtle Squares

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup melted butter until light and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
6. Sprinkle 1 cup pecan halves evenly over the dough.
7. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
8. Immediately pour the boiling mixture evenly over the pecans.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Let cool completely in the pan.
11. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler.)
12. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled bars.
13. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
14. Once set, cut into 36 squares.
