These bars have all the goodness of pecan pie and are so easy to serve to a crowd. I've been stirring up batches for holidays for years now and it's something we all look forward to. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 teaspoons butter, divided (no substitutes) |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
1 egg yolk |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/2 cup butter |
1/4 cup honey |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
4 cups pecans, chopped |
Directions:
1. Line a 13 inches x 9 inches x 2 inches baking pan with foil; butter the foil with the 2 tsp of butter.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream remaining butter with brown sugar. Add egg yolk; mix well.
3. Gradually add flour. Press into prepared pan. Bake at 350' for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in cream and pecans.
5. Pour over crust. Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
6. Cool completely on a wire rack.
7. Use foil to lift the bars out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Carefully remove foil. Cut into 24 bars; then cut each in haft diagonally making triangles.
