About the Recipe: Turtle candy has always been a family favorite. This recipe is an easy way to make some cookie squares filled with soft caramel-like pecan filling, covered with combined dark and milk chocolate. Serve squares as a special dessert or snack treat. They are super easy to make.
Cook’s Note: If desired, toast the pecans to enhance their flavor.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a shallow 9×9 inch ovenproof pan with parchment paper with ends extending over the pan for easier removal.
- Spray bottom and sides with nonstick vegetable spray.
- Break graham crackers into pieces; place into food processor; process until very fine texture. Place into a large bowl.
- Add chopped pecans to graham cracker crumbs, mix.
- Stir in salt and condensed milk; mix thoroughly; the mixture will be a little sticky.
- Place dough into the prepared baking pan; wet your hands with cold water to firmly pat dough evenly and smooth on top.
- Bake in preheated 350-degree F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes; do not overcook.
- Remove from oven; sprinkle with dark and milk chocolate chips; when chocolate melts spread over the entire top evenly; sprinkle with chopped pecans as desired. Let cool; place in refrigerator to firm chocolate faster.
- Using the overlapped parchment paper, remove chocolate square from baking pan. For serving trim off crusted edges, cut into 16 squares.
If desired: cut squares in half to make 32 small mini bars.
Yield: 16 squares or 32 mini bars
