Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Be sure to press together any seams in the dough so it creates one continuous layer.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until it is just lightly golden but not fully baked. Remove the crust from the oven and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then stir in the chopped pecans.
Carefully pour the pecan mixture evenly over the partially baked crescent roll crust, spreading it out if needed to ensure even coverage.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 18 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden.
Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut them into squares or bars and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
