Turtle Bark

Need a last-minute dessert that’s easy, gluten-free, and drenched in chocolate? You’re welcome. You can find prepared caramel sauce at most grocery stores – Trader Joe’s and Stonewall Kitchen are my favorite brands but it’s so worth it to make your own – only takes about 10 minutes. For a quick hack, you can also melt caramel candies in the microwave!

• 24 ounces semisweet chocolate

Instructions

 

• Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
• While chocolate is melting, toast pecans in a dry pan over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, just until fragrant (keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn).
• Once the chocolate is melted, evenly spread on to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with toasted pecans and shortbread cookies.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with 1 to 2 teaspoon of sea salt.
• Allow to set until the chocolate is hardened. Pop in the fridge or freezer for faster setting. Once completely hardened, break into pieces.
