Pecan Pie Bars

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 C. butter
  • 2/3 C. brown sugar
  • 2 2/3 C. flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Pecan Topping:

  • 1/2 C butter
  • 1 C. brown sugar
  • 1/3 C. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
  • 2 1/2 C. pecans roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9X13 pan with foil (grease the parts of the pan not covered in foil).
  2. 2. To make crust, beat butter and sugar together for 2 minutes. Then mix in flour, salt and cinnamon. Dump into prepared pan, flatten out evenly and bake for 20 minutes.
  3. 3. Filling: In a small sauce pan melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, honey and cream. Let simmer for 1 minute, then stir in pecans and vanilla extract. (I left my pecans mostly whole for photos, but when I make these again I will probably chop them up more.)
  4. 4. Pour filling onto crust and bake for another 20 minutes.
  5. 5. Remove from oven and let cool. Then lift up on the overhanging foil to easily take the bars out of the pan and then cut! (My pieces were huge! I would cut them smaller unless you want your guests to be in a sugar coma)
