Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut 3/4 cup butter into 1/2 inch pieces.

In a food processor blend butter, flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar and the salt until mixture becomes slightly crumbly.

Sprinkle mixture into a 9x13 baking pan and press evenly onto the bottom.

Bake on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Coarsely chop pecans.

Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter and remaining 1 cup brown sugar, honey and cream in a heavy saucepan.

Simmer mixture stirring occasionally for 1 minutes.

Stir in pecans and then pour mixture over hot crust and spread evenly.

Bake on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes or until bubbling; remove and let cool.

When slightly cooled, run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to loosen bars.

Cool completely in the pan and cut into bars.

Bars will keep for 5 days covered at room temperature.
