southern fried gal

I’m excited to be back in action on this blog. Life seems to be slowly getting back to normal. I’ve got lots of exciting posts lined up for the month of December and I promise to be more faithful to posting!

A great way to get this party started is with a tasty treat! This is another recipe that I recommend to my hostesses because it is SIMPLE and has WOW factor! I’ve seen this or a version of in several of my Southern Living cookbooks. Please enjoy!

Gooey Turtle Bars
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate morsels
1 cup pecan pieces

1 (12 oz) jar caramel topping

Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter in an ungreased 13 x 9 inch pan; stir and press firmly into bottom of pan. Sprinkle with chocolate morsels and pecans. Remove lid from caramel topping; microwave on high 1 to 1.5 minutes or until hot, stirring after 30 seconds. Drizzle over pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until chocolate morsels melt; cool in pan on a wire rack. Chill at least 30 minutes then cut into bars.
