How to Make I M A Little Nutty Pecan Pie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut 3/4 cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a food processor, combine butter, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is light golden brown.
- While the crust bakes, coarsely chop 1 cup pecan halves.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly for 1 minute, until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the hot crust.
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and set around the edges.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting.
- Once cooled, run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the bars.
- Cut into squares and serve. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
