Ingredients

  • For the Crust
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar

  • 2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Pecan Pie Filling
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup honey

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 1/3 cup pecans (2 medium size bags of pecans)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a glass or ceramic baking dish (9×13 preferred) with parchment paper. Parchment paper can hang over edges of dish.
  • Make the crust by creaming together the butter and brown sugar with a mixer (hand or standing). Add flour and salt and mix till crumbly.
  • Press crust mix firmly in the 9×13 dish and bake for 20 minutes till golden brown.
  • While crust is baking, make your filling! Combine in a medium saucepan the butter, brown sugar, honey, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir at medium heat for about 2 minutes and combine in the chopped pecans. Stir pecans into filling for about 1 additional minute till pecans are covered and nice and gooey.
  • Take crust out of the oven and pour pecan filling into dish evenly.
  • Bake for an additional 20 minutes and remove from oven to cool. Cool for 1 hour before cutting into square bars. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Recipe slightly adjusted from the Recipe Critic.
  • Ensure to constantly stir the pecan filling so it does not burn.
  • Do not over cook your pie crust the first time you bake it. It still will bake for 20 minutes once pecan pie filling is added.
