Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. MAKING THE CRUST:.
  3. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, until light, approxiamtely, 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs and the vanilla, and mix well.
  5. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the batter with the mixer on low speed until just combined.
  6. Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 18x12x1 baking sheet, making an edge around the outside. It will be very sticky; sprinkle the dough and your hands lightly with flour.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is set but not browned. Allow to cool.
  8. TOPPING:.
  9. Combine the butter, honey, brown sugar and zests in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat until the butter is melted, using a wooden spoon to stir.
  10. Raise the heat and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. BE VERY CAREFUL - IT IS HOT CARAMEL!
  11. Stir in the heavy cream and the pecans. Pour over the crust, trying not to get the filling between the crust and the pan.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set.
  13. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold. Cut into small bars(as they are rich).
  14. MAKE GANACHE:.
  15. Cook the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and instant coffee(if using) in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until very smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.
  16. Dip only one end of pecan bars in the ganache, & place on white muffin cup liners; smoosh(for lack of a better word - this word is mine, not Ina Garten's) to open and place the dipped pecan bar in it. This way it can drip into the liner! Serve with or without liners.
