How to Make Neiman Marcus Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the pecans.
  5. Press half of the dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and pour the hot caramel over the baked crust.
  8. Crumble the remaining dough over the caramel. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
