Scrumptious Turtle Bars Holiday (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

02 - 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed

03 - 1 cup all-purpose flour

04 - Pinch of fine sea salt

05 - 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

06 - 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

07 - 1 1/2 cups caramel bits

08 - 12 ounces sweetened condensed milk

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 7×11 baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

02 - In a large bowl, cream the butter with the brown sugar using an electric hand mixer until smooth. Slowly stir in the flour and sea salt until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden brown.

03 - Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by the pecans, then the caramel bits. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over everything, ensuring the top is covered as evenly as possible.

04 - Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown. Let the bars cool in the pan completely before cutting them into squares and serving.

# Notes:

01 - These bars are chewy, soft, and highly addictive! Use semi-sweet chocolate chips to balance the sweetness, or experiment with other chocolate varieties while maintaining proportions.
