List of 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 Tbsp whipping cream

Instructions



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 350º F for 20 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Cool.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. Bake at 350º F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Cool completely before cutting into 2-inch squares.
   
   Makes about 28 squares.
