100_2436

I got this recipe in an e-mail from Pillsbury and just had to try it!  Cookie dough, chocolate, caramel, nuts...what's there to not like?!?  It was delicious.  A little rich, but very good with some ice-cold milk!

Ooey-Gooey Turtle Bars
  Ingredients:
  -1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies
 

-1 bag (12 oz) Semisweet Chocolate Chips (2 cups)

  -3 cups Chopped Pecans
  -1/2 cup Butter
  -1/2 cup packed Light Brown Sugar
  -1 jar (12.25 oz) Caramel Ice Cream Topping
  -1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs (16 squares)
   
1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Press cookie dough evenly in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan.
2 Sprinkle 1 cup of the chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups of the pecans over dough; lightly press into dough. Set aside.
3 In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar, caramel topping and graham cracker crumbs. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Pour over crust in pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups pecans.
4 Bake 25 to 32 minutes or until edges are deep golden brown and pecans are lightly toasted. Cool on cooling rack 30 minutes; loosen sides from pan, but do not cut. Cool completely, about 3 hours longer. (For firmer bars, let stand an additional 2 hours.)
