Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 12 tbsp Butter, Cold & Diced
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 12 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 3 1/2 cups Pecans, Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9 x 13 inch pan with foil, then spray with non-stick spray.
- In a food processor, pulse the flour, powdered sugar, and salt to make the crust.
- Add the cold, diced butter and pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan and press down evenly. Bake for 18 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, butter, heavy whipping cream, and salt to make the filling. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove the filling from the heat and stir in the vanilla and chopped pecans until well combined.
- Pour the pecan filling over the warm crust and return to the oven. Bake for another 20 minutes or until the top is bubbling and caramel-colored.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cold and diced for the best crust texture.
Cool completely for clean cuts and to allow the filling to set before serving.
