Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder for the richest flavor.
  • To make the caramel, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly to prevent scorching.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful when adding the hot caramel to the chocolate mixture. It will bubble and splatter.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Turtle cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a chocolate cookie crust, a layer of caramel, and a topping of pecans, these bars are sure to be a hit. Follow the tips above to make the best turtle cookie bars possible.
