Pecan Bars dipped in Chocolate Ganache

First a sweet, buttery dough was made, patted down, and baked for about 10 minutes. In the meantime the pecan topping was made in a pot, consisting of butter, brown sugar, honey, orange and lemon zest, vanilla, cinnamon, cream and pecans. Boiled for a few minutes to thicken nicely. Then that was poured over the par-baked crust and baked for another 25 minutes. When cooled, the sheet was cut into rectangles, and dipped into chocolate ganache, made with cream, semi-sweet chocolate and a little espresso powder.. et voila! Delicious crunchy, buttery, caramel like pecan bars.
