    Recipe Introduction


    Sometimes described as a "turtle" bar, this decadent bar is special yet incredibly easy to make.


    Crust Ingredients:
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
    1 cup pecan halves

    Caramel Layer Ingredients:
    2/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1 cup milk chocolate chips (We recommend NESTLÈ® TOLL HOUSE® Milk Chocolate Morsels)

    Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all crust ingredients except pecans in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed and particles are fine (2 to 3 minutes).
    Press on bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Place pecans evenly over unbaked crust.
    Combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until entire surface of mixture begins to boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour evenly over pecans and crust.
    Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until entire caramel layer is bubbly. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle with chips; allow to melt slightly (2 to 3 minutes). Swirl chips leaving some whole for a marbled effect.
    Cool completely; cut into bars.
    Makes 36 bars.
