I thought my aunts' recipe was gone forever, but guess what? I found it and it tastes even better than I remembered!

When I think about Turtle Bars, I am whisked away to those warm, fuzzy Sunday afternoons spent baking with my mom. Buttery shortbread, sweet caramel, crunchy nuts, and a chocolate drizzle make up the backbone of these delicious sweets. For a dessert that manages to be both rich and created from scratch, they are ideal. Turtle Bars are easy to make and always a hit, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to reward yourself.
The already decadent Turtle Bars are much more so when accompanied by a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a steaming mug of coffee. To keep the tastes from being too dominant, serve them with a tray of fresh fruit if you're hosting a party. To further enhance the caramel and chocolate layers and add a little more snap to each mouthful, sprinkle some sea salt on top just before serving.
