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!
Made these for me and my boyfriend to try. I had to make the gluten free and dairy free (sadly because of me) but they turned out incredible. They are so dangerous to have in the house, in a good way! Super sweet but so dang incredible! Will be making again!!!
* also switched out the walnuts for pecans at my boyfriends request because you said it taste like pecan pie.. so he wanted to try them with pecans!! 1000/10
