This recipe calls for 3/4 cup of salted caramel sauce, and while you probably could use a store bought variety, I really hope you’ll try making my homemade version. You only need a few ingredients to make homemade caramel sauce and it’s a million times tastier than the store bought varieties. Plus, it’s super fun to make. Win, win, and win!

But let’s move on from the caramel, because these salted caramel turtle fudge bars have so much more going on. Let’s start with the base of these bars, which is a super simple shortbread crust. I love this crust because it’s perfectly buttery, just a little crumbly, and not too sweet. On top of the crust is a decadent layer of chocolate fudge!!! And then, to top it all off, these bars are covered in gooey caramel sauce and a hearty sprinkle of crunchy pecans.

Ingredients

For the Shortbread Crust:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

For the Fudge Topping:

• 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
• (1) 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 and 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small bits
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
• 1/2 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. For the Shortbread Base:
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing two of the sides to overlap. Spray the parchment - and any exposed pan - with non-stick baking spray; set aside.
