Scale

- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 12 tbsp Butter, Cold & Dice
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 12 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9 x 13 pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
- In a food processor, pulse together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt to make the crust.
- Add in the cold, diced butter and pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down evenly. Bake for 18 minutes.

Notes
Use a sharp knife to cut the bars for neat edges.
For added flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
