Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2/3 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons whipping cream
• 3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together 2 cups flour and 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Cut in 3/4 cup
softened butter using a pastry blender or fork just until mixture
resembles coarse meal. Pat mixture on bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides
of a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool.

Bring brown sugar, honey, 2/3 cup butter, and whipping cream to a boil
in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in pecans, and pour hot
filling into prepared crust.

Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Cool
completely before cutting into 2-inch squares. Yield: Makes about 28
squares.
