Ingredients
Crust
- 1 lb. 4 oz. flour
- 1 lb. butter
- 8 oz. powdered sugar
Filling
- 1 lb. 12 oz. walnuts
- 1 lb. 12 oz. pecans
- 10 oz. butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup cream

Directions
- For the crust: Combine all ingredients until fully incorporated. Press into a greased 10"x15" sheet pan. Bake at 350 degrees 8-10 minutes until slightly golden and barely set. Allow to cool to room temperature. (You do not want the crust to be baked all the way. It should be soft and slightly doughy.)
- Combine butter, honey, cream and brown sugar in a pot and bring to a boil.
- While mixture is coming to a boil, sprinkle the nuts over the cooled crust. Sprinkle evenly over the whole pan.
- Pour caramel evenly over nuts and crust.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes until the center starts to bubble.
- Cool at room temperature. Cut into desired shape and size. Enjoy your pecan caramel squares!
