  The filling: In a saucepan, add the butter, honey, brown sugar, and heavy cream, and stir over medium heat. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for about 1 minute, then add the chopped pecans and combine. Remove the crust from the oven and whilst it is still hot, pour the pecan filling all over the hot crust spreading evenly so the whole surface is covered. Place the pan in the oven bake for an extra 20 minutes. When done, let the Caramel Pecan bars completely cool then in a bowl, add the chocolate and pop in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until it is all melted. Pour the chocolate over the cooled bars, spread evenly, and leave in the pan until set. You can pop in the fridge for an hour or freezer for 20 minutes to speed up cooling if you can't wait. When cold, lift it out of the tray and slice to your desired size.
