For the Pecan Filling: Put butter, honey, brown sugar in a saucepan. Cook on low heat until melted. Raise heat and boil 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in heavy cream and pecans. Pour over the crust carefully. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. Remove and chill to cool. Cut into bars and dip half of each bar into melted chocolate! Adapted from Ina Garten

These look delicious!! I’d like to make the halved recipe but was wondering how you divided the 3 eggs. Did you whip them together and add half to the dough or did you use a full egg and a yolk? Thanks for the great recipe!!

It’s very good to read this useful post on dog training.
I have a concern however. How do you work with a younger dog?
