Gooey Pecan Pie Bars Recipe

[@rlizabethcastillo5541]

I made these and they are addictive. Best pecan bar hands down. Thank you.

This man has the most beautiful oven

[@PreppyKitchen]

Thank you!

[@Jacqueline2279]

The kitchen and supplies, all around, are fantastic!

[@julierobert1148]

Yes he does!

[@suzannelatulippe7919]

Indeed, but you need a beautiful bank account to be able to afford it!

[@lorenefairchild7616]

I have often admired it.

[@marlagriffith3144]

I have made these twice and anyone who has had them loves them. They are going in the permanent rotation. Thank you.

[@goddessdawn1113]

Made these yesterday. The process did not go as planned, at all! My shortbread was crumbly, I didn’t have enough pecans, so I had to add walnuts, and I was short on maple syrup, because apparently, corn syrup is a hot commodity where I live. I was a stressed out mess, on the drive to our belated family Thanksgiving. I hit it out of the park…lol! They turned out, so much better than I had prayed to the Lord about! Make this recipe! You cannot lose! They are even better the next morning with coffee! I’m pretty sure, my husband loves me more…ha ha ha! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for writing out this recipe. 👍🏻. I was just complaining how hard it is to actually find the list of ingredients you made my day! 👍🏻

[@kendallklement9809]

As someone who had to be self taught at everything. John is that person I guiding me on my cooking and baking journey that I never thought I would get to have. Thank you John your videos mean a lot and help a lot

[@yubby7990]

Ever since watching John he's influenced me and now I've started baking things all the time! Love his recipes they never seem to disappoint❤️

[@Bobberu]

Fr I bake all the time and only John's recipes!! He makes it so fun ❤ I've even started saying things like "whisk whisk whisk" while whisking

[@cherrykissesxo94]

Made these tonight. They were so great! Not too sweet. Very well balanced. I will be making these many times this holiday season. Thank you for another amazing treat!

[@abbiem3231]

I love your editing so much! The gentle "it happened" got me. You make everything look so easy and accessible in your videos, really inspires me to pick up baking as a hobby again.

[@reneebanbury7066]

I found John about a year ago & I love his personality, his instructions & his recipes of course. You rock John & all the recipes have turned out AMAZING! ❤❤❤

[@jedonhopkins3868]

I made these and yes like John said it's amazing. My whole family absolutely went nuts over these. Yummy, yummy, yummy. ❤

[@wolfmaus13]

I just made these today....and OMG they r so goooood. I did change some ingredients. First I substituted dark maple bourbon barrel syrup for the dark corn syrup. And second I make my own brown sugar. So I can make it as dark or light as I want. Never the less this is an easy recipe to follow and it is even better than the brookie recipe that I love so much. Thank you so much for great recipes

[@willthashinigami666]

Every time I'm having a rainy day, I watch your videos. You turn my frown upside down each time 😊

[@gojeran]

I love this recipe. I have made it several times for family and co workers. It’s absolutely fantastic. I use 240ml light corn syrup and 120ml of real maple syrup and add 1/2tsp of cinnamon to the nuts.

[@londongirl891]

I just took mine out of the oven. It’s still so liquid underneath the top layer, even after 35 mins in. Is that normal?! Help!

[@notaclue822]

I have some maple syrup I'd like to use. Does the maple flavour conflict with the vanilla?

[@blackberry5908]

​@@notaclue822they both complement each other very well.

[@peg1028]

Juat made these on Christmas Eve - cooled and chilled them and taste-tested - WONDERFUL. Lightly sweet, so man pecans - PERFECT

[@ronalddevine9587]

John, you are a genius! I'm half Scottish and never knew the origin of shortbread. This recipe will help me control my glucose levels, which is important for diabetics. Thank you.

[@PreppyKitchen]

It’s such an interesting story!

[@kyrademore5824]

These are so delicious! I made them for my husband's office party and they were gone in no time! If you love pecan pie like I do, make them! They are a perfect item to bring to holiday gatherings, too. No need to worry about cutting and serving a pie. These will be ready to go, cut into the perfect serving sizes!

[@BartClubb]

The pecan bars look delicious. I cannot wait to make them.

[@dillond84]

Just tried this recipe for Thanksgiving and they were a huge hit. Thanks, John!!

[@maritza2813]

I completely agree that the usual pecan pie is too sweet and the filling to crust ratio doesn’t work well. I’m so glad you shared this recipe with us! Gracias 😊

[@preppy_kitchen3]

Thanks for watching and commenting give me a direct message I have a gift for you..

[@sweetnectar35]

My plan was to have a fresh new recipe for the holidays. That was Christmas 2023. Since then I have made this recipe about 4 or 5 times. It is addicting lol. Love it . Thank u.❤

[@neiljesus7131]

I have made this recipe twice and they turned out amazing.The hardest part for me was cutting the parchment🤣. The shortbread base is much easier than pie crust and you can make 15 to 20 servings depending how you cut the slab. It is a great party/ gift dessert . Excellent recipe

[@rosemarygilman8718]

John, these look so delicious that I'm going to bake a batch for Thanksgiving instead of baking my usual pecan pie. I really appreciate all the tips you include in your presntation like snipping the corners of the parchment paper to make it fit perfectly in the backing pan and using a fork to smooth out the shortbread dough before baking. You're a great teacher and a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

[@Leafygreen123]

Just made these! They are amazing! I added 1 tablespoon of bourbon and used 1 1/4 cup dark corn syrup and 1/4 pure maple syrup. I also added 75g of fresh cranberries to the pecan topping for color and another layer of flavor. The bars are not sickeningly sweet, as he says! Another winner from Preppy Kitchen!

These are going to be on my list of things to make for Thanksgiving FOR SURE!! John is so super GREAT! Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@leannajagta7083]

Mine too!

[@ericaashley8338]

Made these last night. They were soooo easy and have turned out delicious! Another winner!

[@maureengordon6496]

Just made these. They were delicious. We didn’t have corn syrup so we used agave syrup and they turned out perfect as well.

[@mdensch1]

I usually usually bake the pies for our family Thanksgiving dinners but it was canceled this year due to two from our group having made travel plans. The baking urge was too strong, though, so I made these pecan pie bars to share instead of pies. (Pecan pie is one of my brother's favorites.) What a wonderful treat, they turned out great! John, you are now on my very short list of favorite KZbin cooking channels. Love your recipes and your videos.

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

I was thinking about making pecan pie something for Thanksgiving, and seeing this sealed the deal! These look delicious🙃

[@Justdessertsforme]

I must say...all your recipes are fabulous 😋😋

[@marilyn2159]

I have made these at least three times and they are fabulous! I’m making them for my Christmas dessert tomorrow😊

[@pbrn1729]

I just made these bars following the recipe, except as soon as I took the shortbread out of the oven after the initial bake, I put dark chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup or so) and melted and spread them around the shortbread-then added the filling… it’s in the oven now! Can’t wait to eat them 😋

[@laurenaka5120]

Did you end up liking them with the chocolate chips?

[@JanetBright-f7r]

Thank you! I had rotator cuff surgery and can't roll out pie crust for pecan pie this year but I can make this without too much on my arm pressure.

[@shelleywinters2582]

Love the way u explain a lot of stuff - made your pumpkin muffins last week , OMG they were incredible and the best cream cheese icing ever ! I will be making this very soon , who doesn’t love pecan pie ❤️

[@MusicArt307]

These are so yummy. My grandma has been talking about them since I made them for Thanksgiving last year, so I made sure to make them again this year. What a great recipe!

[@deborahpercell321]

@preppykitchen Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, John. I made these pecan bars to take to my mother-in-law’s today and everyone LOVED THEM!!! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, and your ah-mazing personality! You are a treasure! 🥰

[@martinacastellanos2764]

Thank you for letting us know the sizes of your pans , and all the measurements. Everything you make looks delicious!!! 🤗

[@lydiasipres9986]

I made these absolutely delicious thank you so much i not a baker but watching you has inspired me to bake so im baking with my 2yr old granddaughter she loves to help.

[@Ilovemozelle]

Made these today. Wonderful. I used the maple syrup and added a touch of cinnamon and some dark chocolate chips on top. 🤯 Thx for the recipe

[@katie2928]

I am going to buy your cookbook! I have tried the english muffins, pita bread and now these. You are the master in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes ❤❤❤❤

[@juliekustom4859]

Use the backside of your knife to scrape the pecans off of the cutting board thereby preserving your sharp edge. These look amazing and I love your oven!

[@raymondfrank799]

This was the most amazing recipe. I love your attitude and the energy you show during these videos. My wife and family love these. Keep up the good work.

[@susanrgraham]

Oh my, those corn bread muffins look so delicious! My mom made those way back in the 70's and we loved them. 😋😋😋😋

[@petnapapeterson5169]

I just made my second batch for 2022 thanksgiving and the family loves it.. you get the pecan pie flavors but definitely not quite shockingly as sweet as a pie. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks so much!

[@rebeccajenkins1553]

They look wonderful, John. Years ago when my sons were much younger I made this with Pillsbury crescent roll dough on the bottom. Don't hate me. 😊

[@icurn2004]

I just watched a boat load of other videos for pecan pie bars. Yours looks the easiest, and best. On my way to the kitchen..

[@marilynshewan1128]

I made this recipe while watching your video. When I took them out of the oven, they were soupy in the middle. Now one thing I did was use half dark karo syrup and half maple syrup. Also I put the “custard” on top of the shortbread while it was warm. I did use a 9x13 aluminum pan. I have been successful in baking pies, shortbread and cookies for a long time. So any advice or ideas are welcome.

[@MP-yz6sb]

Omg I love pecan pie but have never made one from scratch. I think I can handle making these bars and will definitely try.

[@lyta1138]

Looks delicious. I can’t deal with the insane sweetness of pecan pie. This sounds perfect.

[@meeleetee8530]

It was soooooo good. Everyone loves this pecan pie bars. It was a crowd pleasing. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@jeannepaz6311]

Delicious ❤❤❤ !!! Made these bars for the First time for Thanksgiving. Sorry, no picture of end result as we started to eat them out of the oven:). These will replace my pecan pie as they taste better and the shortbread layer was easy to make and has more flavor than crust. Thank you so very much for sharing this new favorite dessert . You have a special gift, keep sharing ❤

I tried this and it was easy and delicious. I am a Southern Pecan Pie Fan no corn syrup. I won't give that up!!

Made these for Thanksgiving, exactly as directed (which I hardly ever do) and they were a huge hit! Thanks for sharing all your tips!

[@wilhelmina8843]

Made this last night and it’s great! Johnathan makes it easy to follow. I copied the way he cut the parchment paper : ) to line his pan. ( A must step in order to take the cookie out later. Actually, follow all the steps! He’s very efficient with his directions. Nothing superfluous.) I cut the bars into 1 inch (25mm) by 1 inch mini bars. Perfect to pop in your mouth to enjoy all the gooey goodness. Cut small like this is great for making a variety cookie tray too. This is a better alternative to pecan pie by a mile. Honestly, I’ll never make pecan pie again after this.

[@autumnbarclay913]

I've been known as the pie maker in the family for many years and my pecan pie especially is known as heart attack in a pan. This looks like a fun alternative, easier for grand kids to grab and go with. Almost identical to my regular recipe, always made a shortbread crust and used dark Karo syrup. Loved your story on taxing cookies , thank you, your channel is always so fun. Autumn

[@sinikishan1408]

Oh my god.. Your recipes are awesome The ease with which u are doing needs appreciation😊🙏

[@saractx2369]

They came out SOOOOOO GOOOOOD. Cut the recipe to half, used a 8X8 dish. I usually make pumpkin pie for thanksgiving. So it was a very nice change, the sweetness is well balanced (I did use Maple syrup). Perfect Pecan bars for the Holidays. Happy Thanksgiving all.

Funny that my husband isn't fond of pecan pie but loves pecan bars! It's the filling to crust ratio...more crust is always better for him. 😊
