We recently harvested all the honey from the boxes in the garden, so buckle up for many honey recipes this year on the blog! These honey walnut bars were extremely delicious. The topping calls for brown sugar, and I found a stevia-based brown sugar that worked perfectly (I have it linked below)! 

These almost taste like pecan pie! 

Ingredients

• Crust
  • 1/2 cup butter (room temp)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
• Topping
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 tsp salt

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 and line an 8 x 8 glass pan with parchment paper
• In a bowl, cream butter, sugar, and vanilla (by hand or with hand mixer)
• Add flour to the mixture until a dough forms (it may be crumbly)
• Press dough into prepped pan, prick the top with a fork
• Bake for 20 minutes
• While the crust is baking, add butter, sugar, and honey over medium heat in a saucepan. Boil for 2 minutes. Add heavy cream. Boil another minute
• Remove from heat and add salt and walnuts; stir to coat
• Pour topping over the crust and bake an additional 22 minutes or until the entire top is bubbly
• Remove from oven and allow to cool
• I cut mine into 16 squares because it is so sweet
• Enjoy!
