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

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

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❤️

[abbiem]

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.

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.

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!

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! ❤❤❤

[wolfmaus]

I just made these today....and OMG they r so 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

[maritza]

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 😊

[willthashinigami]

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

[Leafygreen]

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!

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

[onthefarm_]

Beautiful bars
The ratio of the three layers is absolutely perfect!

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.

[jayburris]

I made these for a work potluck today. I used light Karo and made sure to toast the pecans. I have never got so many compliments on a dish before. Very very good. Loved the shortbread crust!

[kyrademore]

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!

I made this for family weekend and let me tell you… IT WAS A HIT! It was the first time I made it and it came out perfect! I really appreciate how you mention grams in the written recipe! Thank you so much! ❤
