Turtle Bars

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. 2
   In a mixer bowl add butter and beat until creamy. Add brown sugar and beat until combined, then add flour and continue to mix until well combined.
3. 3
   Press mixture evenly into an 11 x 15 inch baking dish (a 9 x 13 will also work - if you do this, the bars will be a little thicker, so add 3-5 minutes to the baking time). Use a fork and prick the crust all over. Place into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven.
4. 4
   Heat dulce de leche in a microwave safe bowl for about a minute. Spread over crust.
5. 5
   Sprinkle pecans over caramel.
6. 6
   In a small microwave-safe bowl combine chocolate chips and cream. Heat in 20 second intervals, stirring in between until chocolate is melted and smooth. Drizzle over caramel and pecans.
7. 7
   Allow bars to come to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove bars from the refrigerator and allow to rest for five minutes before slicing and serving.
8. 8
   May be served chilled or at room temperature. Store, covered in refrigerator.
