MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      4 oz Unsalted butter; softened
    1/2 c  Packed light-brown sugar

    1/2 ts Pure vanilla extract

  Set oven to 375+#F/190+#C.

  Line a 9" +∙ 13" baking pan with parchment paper.

  MAKE THE CRUST: With an electric mixer on medium-high
  speed, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 3
  minutes. Mix in salt. Add Flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing
  until fully incorporated after each addition. Continue
  mixing until dough begins to come together in large
  clumps.

  Press dough evenly into baking pan (it should be about
  1/4" thick). Pierce the dough all over with a fork.
  Chill until firm, about 20 minutes. Bake until golden
  brown, 18-20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and
  cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325+#F/165+#C

  MAKE THE FILLING: Combine butter, brown sugar, honey,
  granulated sugar, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan.
  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture
  coats the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. remove pan
  from heat; stir in salt, nuts and vanilla. Pour filling
  into the cooled crust.

  Bake until the filling bubbles, 15-20 minutes. Carefully
  transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Gently lift
  the bar out of the pan by gripping the parchment paper.
  Transfer to a cutting board. Peel the sides of the
  parchment paper down and use a sharp knife to cut bars
  to desired size. Bars can be stored in an airtight
  container at room temperature up to one week.
