How to Make Rich Gooey Pecan Pie Bars

  1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) Pillsbury Moist Supreme yellow cake mix and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Mix until crumbly.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the greased 9x13 inch pan to form an even crust.
  5. Spread 2 cups pecan halves evenly over the crust.
  6. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup honey, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  7. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup heavy cream. The mixture will thicken slightly.
  9. Pour the hot pecan filling evenly over the pecan halves.
  10. Bake for 17-22 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and set around the edges.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
