Equipment
- 1 9 x 13 inch baking pan
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
Filling
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions
For the crust
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and 3/4 cup of softened unsalted butter. Blend these ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Press the crumbly mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.
For the filling
- While the crust is baking, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine 3/4 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 2/3 cup of unsalted butter, and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream.
- Bring this mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
- Stir in 3 cups of chopped pecans. Make sure they are well coated with the mixture.
- Pour the pecan filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pan back in the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut them into bars.
