The first time I ate pecan diamonds I fell head over heel. I LOVE honey ,I LOVE brown sugar, I LOVE pecans. Those ingredients once mixed together are just ULTRA ESQUISITE, ULTRA TASTEFULL AND ULTRA SCRUMPTIOUS . Every time I eat them it is purely ethereal. "The human race is divided into two classes-those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit and inquire why wasn't it done the other way?"

How To Make pecan diamonds

  • Step 1
    Make crust by mixing all the ingredeints and mold it at bottom of a 8 by 8 square pan. Pre-bake for about only 8-10minutes 350 degrees.
  • Step 2
    Put the cream, honey, butter, and both sugars in a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Bring mixture to boil while stirring until it reaches 240 degrees. Then remove from heat.
  • Step 3
    Add the pecans and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Step 4
    Pour immediately over crust and spread into a even layer. Bake for about 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Step 5
    If you love honey like I love it here is what I do. I melt about 1/2 cup of honey with 2 Tbsp of melted butter and mix it well. I brush the pecans to glaze them. Cut in diamonds shape and voila! I never can have enough pecan diamonds...I especially love it in the DIAMOND SHAPE. Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend!
