Pecan Pie Bars Recipe

Allow me if you will to make a bold statement.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 stick) butter, melted
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Whisk together flour and granulated sugar. Stir in melted butter; blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Pat evenly into bottom of prepared pan.
3. Bake crust for 15 minutes or just until edges begin to lightly brown. Let cool.
4. Meanwhile, crack eggs in a medium-size bowl and beat well with a fork or whisk. Set aside.
5. Combine brown sugar, honey, butter and cream in a medium-size saucepan. Bring just to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off heat. Gradually stream 1/2 cup hot sugar mixture into eggs, whisking constantly. Pour egg mixture back into pan with remaining sugar mixture, stirring constantly until smooth. Stir in Sunnyland Farms small pecan pieces, vanilla and salt. Pour over crust.
6. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
