Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and salt until crumbly.

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until lightly golden.

2. Make the filling:
In another bowl, whisk together honey (or corn syrup), brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Stir in the chopped pecans.

3. Assemble and bake:
Pour the filling evenly over the hot crust.

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center.

Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing.
