way easier than a whole pie. serves… however many pieces you slice a 13x9” pan into.
crust:
2 sticks salted butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 2/3 cup flour
topping:
1 stick salted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
2 tbs heavy cream or half and half
2 cups chopped pecans
Preheat the oven to 350º. Line a 13x9” pan with foil and give yourself an overhang.
Cream together the butter and sugar for the crust. Add in the flour gradually and mix until crumbly. Press the crust into the pan and bake for 20 minutes, until it just starts to get golden brown.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, and cream over medium heat. Allow to simmer for one minute, and then stir in the pecans.
When the crust is done baking, pour the topping evenly over the entire pan. Bake an additional 20 minutes.
When time is up, remove the pan and allow the bars to cool. Use the foil to lift, cut, and serve.
