minutesPecan Pie Bars are my favorite to make! The cinnamon shortbread crust is delicious and a nice pairing with the pecan pie filling. Optional but you can top it off with ice-cream or whip cream if desired! We love eating ours as is during the day and then at night adding the works!

* 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 cup)

- In a large mixing bowl cream together butter and brown sugar. Add in flour, cinnamon and salt and beat till it’s a crumble texture. In a 9×9 baking dish lined with parchment paper press down shortbread crust evenly and bake for 15 minutes. When crust is done baking remove and set aside.
- While shortbread crust is baking make pecan pie filling. Melt butter in a medium saucepan or skillet, add in brown sugar, honey, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
