Creating Nussecken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray (approximately 9×13 inches) with parchment paper.
2. Make the Shortcrust Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking tray.
4. Prepare the Nut Topping: In a saucepan, combine sugar, cream, honey, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
5. Add the Nuts: Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the chopped nuts until well-coated.
6. Spread the Topping: Pour the nut mixture over the shortcrust base, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
8. Cool and Cut: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tray for about 20-30 minutes. Once cool, cut into triangles or squares.
9. Drizzle with Chocolate: Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the pieces for an added touch of elegance.
10. Let Set: Allow the chocolate to set before transferring to a serving plate or storage container.
