Easy to Make Pecan Turtle Cookie Bars Recipe

Pecan turtle bar cookies have been a favorite in our household for over 15 years. This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and is made from common every day ingredients.

It starts off with a layer of buttery crust, then accented with the nutty taste of pecans and finally topped off with a delicious layer of chocolate. Once they are cooled and cut into bars, you will want to store them in an airtight container.

Cookie Bake

Crust Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup butter, softened

Caramel Layer Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup whole pecan halves
1 cup milk chocolate morsels (chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar and softened butter until creamy and fluffy. Press the crust ingredients inside a 13 x 9" baking pan. Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the crust.

For The Caramel Layer: In a large mixing bowl (you can reuse the first bowl), cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy. Pour mixture into a 2 quart saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it boils; remove from heat. Pour this mixture over top the pecan layer in your baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until done.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and immediately sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over top so that they melt. Using a silicone spatula, swirl the melted chocolate around to give it a marbled effect.

Let the cookies completely cool and then cut into bars.
