TURTLE BARS

This recipe reminded me of my great grandma's chocolate pecan pie!  OH THE WONDERS of the south!!!  Anything with chocolate and pecans is scumptious! 
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine melted
1-8 oz pkg of chocolate chips
1-12oz jar caramel syrup
1 cup chopped pecans, walnuts or other – optional

Directions:
Notes: Line your glass 9×13 ” pan with parchment paper, to make the bars easy to remove and even easier to cut.  (If you’re not using parchment paper) When they first come out of the oven, take a knife around the sides of your pan, then they will be much easier to cut and remove.

1. Combine 1st – 6 ingredients until well blended. Press half of the mixture in a 9×13″ pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
3. Spread over the crust; chocolate chips & nuts. Drizzle the caramel syrup over the top. Sprinkle with the other half of crumb mixture.
4. Bake 15 to minutes more, or until golden brown.
