HONEY NUT COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Press into the bottom of a 9×13 inch, parchment paper lined baking pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• In a medium sized saucepan combine the butter brown sugar honey and whipping cream.
• Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for only a minute or two before stirring in the almonds and pecans.
• As soon as the bottom has baked for 20 minutes, pull it out of the oven and spread the topping evenly over the base and return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes. Careful not to over bake these or the caramel top will go brittle and not chewy. If you have a candy thermometer you can test the top layer to ensure that it is somewhere between 245 to 250 degrees F when fully baked.
• Cool completely the pan on a wire rack.
• Drizzle the tops with the melted chocolate if you choose. These are exceptionally good without the chocolate too.
