Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour (130 grams)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed (light)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks (84 grams)

Filling:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (56 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt omit if using salted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed (100 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cups coarsely chopped lightly toasted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch metal pan with non-stick foil or line with regular foil and spray with baking spray.
  • Prepare crust. Combine flour, brown sugar and salt in food processor and pulse 3 times to mix. Add butter and process until mixture is crumbly – it will be really dry. Pour over bottom of pan and press tightly. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the filling. In a heavy saucepan melt the butter. When the butter is completely melted, stir in salt, brown sugar and honey. Simmer mixture for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in cream, vanilla and pecans.
  • Pour the pecan mixture over crust and spread evenly. Bake on center rack for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack for at least an hour. To quick-cool, let them cool down as much as possible then shove them in the refrigerator.
  • Lift foil from pan and carefully cut into bars. I like to trim off the edges, cut the bars into 8 rectangles, then cut each rectangle into a square. It’s easy to do this if you have a big cutting board and a Chef’s knife.
