Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

      In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

        Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.

          Sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped pecans over the brown sugar mixture.

            Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top, ensuring it covers as much of the chocolate and pecans as possible.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the center seems set.

                Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, then refrigerate for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up before cutting into squares.

                  Enjoy your delicious turtle bars as an indulgent treat!
