2 tsp plus 1/2 cup butter, softened, divided
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1-1/2 cups flour

Topping:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
4 cups chopped pecans

Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with foil; butter the foil with 2 tsp butter; set aside. In a large bowl, cream remaining butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk until blended. Gradually add flour. Press into prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in cream and pecans. Pour over crust. Bake for 30 minutes longer or until hot and bubbly. Cool completely on a wire rack. Use foil to lift the bars out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Carefully remove foil and cut into bars; cut each bar in half diagonally.
