4 oz Unsalted butter; softened
1/2 c Packed light-brown sugar

1/4 ts Salt
2 c Pecans
1/2 ts Pure vanilla extract
Set oven to 375ºF/190ºC.
Line a 9" × 13" baking pan with parchment paper.
MAKE THE CRUST: With an electric mixer on medium-high
speed, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 3
minutes. Mix in salt. Add Flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing
until fully incorporated after each addition. Continue
mixing until dough begins to come together in large
clumps.
Press dough evenly into baking pan (it should be about
1/4" thick). Pierce the dough all over with a fork.
Chill until firm, about 20 minutes. Bake until golden
brown, 18-20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and
cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325ºF/165ºC
MAKE THE FILLING: Combine butter, brown sugar, honey,
granulated sugar, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture
coats the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. remove pan
from heat; stir in salt, nuts and vanilla. Pour filling
into the cooled crust.
Bake until the filling bubbles, 15-20 minutes. Carefully
transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Gently lift
the bar out of the pan by gripping the parchment paper.
Transfer to a cutting board. Peel the sides of the
parchment paper down and use a sharp knife to cut bars
to desired size. Bars can be stored in an airtight
container at room temperature up to one week.
