Just-Like-Pecan-Pie Bars Recipe

With a rich, butter crust and chewy nut filling, these bars are just as good as real pecan pie! Cut them in pretty triangle or diamond shapes.—Judie Heiderscheit, Holy Cross, Iowa

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup cold butter
FILLING:
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, cubed
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups chopped pecans
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Line a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with foil; coat the foil with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, honey and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the pecans, cream and vanilla. Pour over crust. Bake 30 minutes longer or until filling is bubbly.
Cool on a wire rack. Use foil to lift bars out of pan. Place on a cutting board; carefully remove foil. Cut into 32 bars; cut each in half diagonally. Yield: 64 bars.

Haven't made it but let's get real here! 14g carbs sounds great but 64 servings in a 9x13 pan is about the size of a peanut. I call that false advertising!
