CARAMELIZED PECAN SQUARES

Category: Bars

1 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into one inch cubes
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cream
3 1/2 cups pecans, roughly chopped

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and line with parchment paper, if desired.

Mix the flour and sugar together in a bowl. Add the cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture with a fork or pastry cutter until the butter is the size of small peas. Press into the prepared baking dish and bake until it just starts to turn golden brown, about 25 minutes.

In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, and cream. Add the pecans and stir until all the pecans are coated. Pour on top of the baked crust and spread evenly. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.

Cool completely before slicing.
