TURTLE COOKIE BARS

Ingredients :

Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

2nd Layer

1 cup pecan halves or chopped pecans

2/3 cup butter

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup milk chocolate morsels

DIRECTIONS :

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and mix the first three ingredients in a mixing bowl; stir at moderate speed with an electric blender until blended. Further, pat the mixture steadily into an ungreased 13 × 9-inch pan.

Prepare pecans over the crust.

Blend the 2 / 3 cup butter and 1 / 2 cup of brown sugar in a saucepan. Then boil over medium to high heat, mixing constantly. Cook for five minutes and pour mixture over pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until it’s golden and bubbly.

Now, remove from the oven and gradually sprinkle it with chocolate morsels. Let it sit for five minutes or until it’s fully melted. Gently whirl the chocolate with a knife. Let it cook at room temperature on a wire rack until chocolate is set and now cut into squares.
