I don't know what else to say about these babies except Oh. My. Gosh. Delicious!!!! The combination of sweet and salty, crunchy and moist...it's all put together into one amazing treat. From the looks of it, all we seem to eat at my these days are sweets. What can I say, I like my chocolate!Note: These guys are RICH so be sure to cut them into small squares or bars. Rich but wonderful. They also need to be given time to cool, just like the S'more Bars and Carmelitas. Make them far enough in advance that you can cut into them when they're completely cool. They're definitely the best this way. End of note.
Oreo Turtle Bars
Adapted from Jamie Cooks it Up! (who got the recipe from her sister-in-law)
- one regular package of Oreo cookies
- 1/2 c. (1 stick) of butter, melted
- 3/4 c. milk chocolate chips
- 3/4 c. white chocolate chips
- 3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 c. mini marshmallows
- 3/4 c. pecan pieces (I bought mine at Walmart in the baking section. I'm pretty sure I put a whole cup on mine.)
- 1 - 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
Let's make the crust! Start by chopping up those Oreos into crumbs. If you have a chopper or a food processor this step will be a lot simpler. I used my small chopper and it worked great. Throw however many can fit at a time and chop them up. If you don't have a chopper or food processor, put them in a plastic Ziploc bag and smash away!
Melt the butter and pour the Oreo crumbs in the bowl. Stir the butter and crumbs together till well combined.
Spray a 9x13 pan and press the cookie crumb and butter mixture onto the bottom of it. And ta da! You've made the crust.
Now time for the chocolate chips.Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips all over the crust...
...then the white chocolate chips...
...then the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
I think we need a close up of that. Wow, that's pretty amazing stuff right there.Go ahead and throw the marshmallows and the pecans on after that chocolate. Now the gang's all here! Time to start the party!
Next, carefully drizzle the sweetened condensed milk (party) over the top of the beautiful confection you just put together. Let it get down into all the cracks.Bake at 350 degrees for for 25-30 minutes, or until you see that it is slightly bubbling. Cool to room temperature and cut with a sharp knife to serve.
