    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: marytexas ***********
    Here's what I make every Christmas.
    I'm originally from Chicago and Fannie May Candy is famous for their Turtle Candies. This recipe tastes like that.

    Yield: 12 Servings


    List of Ingredients




    Crust
    2 c Flour
    1 c Brown Sugar
    1/2 c Butter
    Caramel Layer
    2/3 c Butter,Melted
    1/2 c Brown Sugar
    1 c Pecans,Chopped
    1 c Milk Chocolate Chips


    Preheat oven 350*.
    Spray 9x13 pan with Pam.

    CRUST:
    Mix flour, butter and brown sugar until well mixed.
    It will resemble fine pellets.
    Pat into 9x13 pan.
    Sprinkle pecans over unbaked crust.

    Recipe



    CARAMEL LAYER:
    Bring butter and brown sugar to boil.
    Boil 1 minute.
    Pour caramel layer mixture carefully over pecans.
    Bake 18 - 22 minutes or until entire caramel layer is bubbly and crust
    is light brown.

    Sprinkle with chips immediately.
    Allow chips to melt and then swirl slightly.

    NOTE: I usually put pan into refrigerator to harden chocolate after I
    have
    swirled the chocolate chips, but once chocalate has
    hardened I
    cut and then put them into cookie tins with wax paper
    between layers.
    They do not have to be refrigerated.
