Delicious easy turtle bars recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (14.3 oz) graham crackers
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 bag (11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. Step 2: Break graham crackers into smaller pieces and spread evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar. Mix well until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over graham crackers.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until bubbly and slightly golden.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and immediately pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the baked graham cracker layer. Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped nuts over the top.
  6. Step 6: Return to oven and bake for another 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool completely before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang and cutting into bars.

Notes

  • Store cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week for longer lasting freshness.
  • A quick zap in the microwave for 5-10 seconds per bar will make the chocolate extra gooey and delicious.
  • Serve these decadent bars chilled for a firmer texture or at room temperature for a softer, melt-in-your-mouth experience; add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  • For easier cutting, chill the cooled bars in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing – it helps the chocolate set nicely!
