Easy Turtle Bars – Sweet Easy Recipes You’ll Love
We all know that one dessert that disappears before you can say, 'Wait, who brought those?' These Easy Turtle Bars are *that* dessert. They’re a bit gooey, a bit crunchy, and wildly rich. I make them when I want to impress without trying too hard—like, hey, I just threw these together (I didn't).
The caramel melts into the pecans and chocolate chips like it’s telling your taste buds a bedtime story. I’ve brought these to everything from potlucks to breakups. They don’t judge. They just deliver.
And the best part? No pastry degree needed. We’re talking minimal steps, ingredients you can pronounce, and a flavor so nostalgic it might just hug your soul. They're perfect for anyone craving something sweet, indulgent, and blissfully easy to make.
Servings: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Press this into the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes until just set. It’ll smell amazing already.
- Sprinkle the pecans and chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top—don’t worry about perfection here, just let it rain.
- Bake for another 25 minutes or until the edges start to brown and the center looks just barely set.
- As soon as it’s out of the oven, drizzle caramel sauce all over the top.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. If you can wait that long, you’re stronger than I am.
