These Loaded Turtle Cookie Bars are a cross between a cookie bar and turtle candy. They’re a special treat for both chocolate and caramel lovers. They’re loaded with Rolo candies, chocolate and pecans all wrapped up in a buttery cookie batter.You can enjoy them with or without the ganache drizzle but, who would want to? They’re unapologetically rich and meant for sharing with the special people in your life.
If you’d like to serve these cookie bars while the filling is still gooey, I highly recommend you try them warm and freshly drizzled with ganache. Make these Loaded Turtle Cookie Bars for your next bake sale, a backyard cookout or for your holiday goodies. By the way, there’s no need to wait until the holidays, every baker knows you need to do a trial run ahead of time for snacking, I won’t tell if you won’t. These are the kind of cookie bars that kids of all ages love, and the chocolate drizzle gives them just the right amount of decadence.
To me, baking sweets for family and friends is one of those small pleasures in life that brings with it big impact. When you share something you’ve made with other people, it really shows the love. Whether it’s teachers, babysitters that special associate at your local butcher or market, they’re certain to love the effort and thought behind the gesture.
