WHAT ARE TURTLE COOKIE BARS?
I really have no idea where the term “turtle” even comes from in the baking world, but I do know that it means chocolate, caramel and pecans. All together in some sort of yummy way. These little Turtle Candies are one of our favorite holiday treats and have been for years.
Ingredients

- ½ cup butter melted

- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans divided
