I’ve been really busy with school, and it has been draining my energy so I haven’t been on the computer much more than checking email the last week. But, for Superbowl Sunday, I made a dessert to share. I made Turtle Bars that turned out great, even though the picture didn’t.
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1-3/4 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 cup softened butter
3 Tbsp heavy cream
1 cup toasted pecans
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 350F
Spread out pecans on a baking sheet and toast in oven for a few minutes, be sure they don’t burn. It can happen very easily.
Mix the flour, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 3/4 cup butter together until crumbly. Press into 13×9 pan and bake until golden.
Bring remaining brown sugar and butter with cream to boil. Boil for 1 minute, stir and remove from heat.
Sprinkle pecans over cooked crust and pour the caramel over that. Bake for 20 minutes or so until the caramel is bubbly and has darkened.
Remove from oven, sprinkle on chocolate chips. When they are mostly melted, smooth over the entire surface.
Chill at least 30 minutes until the chocolate has set.
