Pecan Cake Bars

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch pan with foil, leaving enough for a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
2. 2
   For crust, cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add in the flour and salt and mix until crumbly.
3. 3
   Press the crust into the foil-lined pan and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
4. 4
   While the crust bakes, prepare the filling by combining the butter, brown sugar, honey and heavy cream in a saucepan and stirring it over medium heat. Simmer the mixture for 1 minute, then stir in the chopped pecans.
5. 5
   Remove the crust from the oven and immediately pour the pecan filling over the hot crust spreading it to cover the entire surface.
6. 6
   Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 20 minutes.
7. 7
   Remove the pan and allow the bars to fully cool in the pan.
