I know, I know, these bars are slightly reminiscent of a Turtle Bar, but they were actually designed after my fiancé's favorite pie: Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie, which we usually make on the holidays. This bar was meant to be a marriage between his tradition (that pie) and mine (Hello Dolly cookie bars), and somehow we ended up here! With a buttery graham cracker crust, homemade (and easy!) caramel, and a layer of pecan + chocolate filling on top.
