Toasted Pecan Honey Squares

What a delicious recipe for this toasted pecan honey squares that look so yummy it is a recipe that comes from the Blue ribbon fair bakeoff from Cheryl Adkins … here below is a excerpt about this recipe from the website

 

These simple and scrumptious Toasted Pecan Honey Squares are a winning sweet treat. They come from Cheryl Adkins, a home baking exhibitor at the 2015 Ohio State Fair. She won second place for these shortbread cookie bars topped with a pecan-pie type “filling.”

The hardest part of this recipe is waiting long enough for them to cool.  They are tender and chewy with just a touch gooey… and oh so good!

So why not have a go at making these amazing squares they would be great to have over the weekend with a cup of latte or hot chocolate .. yummy
