Category: Bars
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  


For the crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2/3 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:
3 & 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
2/3 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons heavy cream

To make the crust:

Preheat oven to 350. Line the bottom and sides of a 9"x13" baking pan with aluminum foil so that the foil overhangs a couple of inches over the sides. Lightly grease foil.

Place flour, butter, confectioners sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture is combined and resembles coarse meal.

Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Press onto bottom and 3/4 inch up the sides of the pan.

Bake 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Place pan on a wire rack and allow the crust to cool completely.

To make the filling:

Preheat oven to 350.

Place pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant.

Place butter, brown sugar, honey, and cream in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in pecans.

Transfer filling to crust.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Place pan on a wire rack and allow bars to cool completely. Then, use the overhanging foil to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into bars.
