Turtle Bars

By MaryEllen

Nice addition to the Cookie Tin Collection. I did not have the chocolate covered Toffee, so it was probably not as pretty as it would have been with the chocolate.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup toffee-and-chocolate baking pieces (such as Heath or Skör)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 F. Combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, and butter
in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until a crumbly dough is formed.
Press the dough firmly into a greased 9-by-13-inch pan. Bake until just
golden, about 13 minutes. Whisk together the condensed milk, egg, and
vanilla. Pour the filling over the baked crust. Sprinkle the pecans,
chocolate chips, and toffee pieces evenly over the filling. Bake until
the filling is set, the edges are golden brown, and the toffee is
melted, about 25 minutes. Cool completely in the refrigerator, about 2
hours. Cut into 32 bars. Serves 32.
