What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs

- 2 Tbsp Butter, Melted
- 14 Oz Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 Cups Chocolate Chips
- 2 Cups Caramel Bits
- 1 Cup Pecans, Chopped
How to Make Magic Turtle Bars
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure easy removal of the bars later.
Step 2: Create the Perfect Crust
Melt all of the butter directly in the baking pan. Add the graham cracker crumbs and mix well with a fork until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create an even crust.
Step 3: Add the Magic Layers
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust—this helps bind everything together and adds rich sweetness.
Next, sprinkle the chocolate chips, caramel bits, and chopped pecans evenly over the condensed milk. Do not stir or press down—let the ingredients work their magic!
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 25 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the caramel is bubbling. Once done, remove from the oven and gently run a knife around the outer edge to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting. This will help them set and make slicing easier. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
