Stephanie, I made these again for this year's Thanksgiving but this time I used bourbon instead of vanilla and boy was that delicious. I didn't think I could like these pecan squares more than I already did but that little bit of bourbon really took it over the top. Got lots of compliments on these, as always. Yum, yum, yum.
Stephanie, you are the best baker on You Tube. Plus you enunciate and explain every step of a recipe so well that even beginner cooks easily understand. Sincere thanks!
I just did it. But I don't have pecans so I used walnuts (120gr because I like them). I have put maple syrup instead of golden syrup. I mixed half of the nuts with eggs and the other half I sprinkled over the top. Delicious. Thanks for the receipe 😘
I made these bars to see if I could substitute them for the pie. They are FABULOUS! My husband said these are better than pie and less messy. I'm serving these for the holidays. Thanks for your video as well. Informative and enjoyable. Easy to follow. You're funny too.
I love when I watch your video and realize I have the ingredients in my kitchen... except for the golden syrup... but I’ve got light corn syrup, and I thought maybe I’d add a touch of maple syrup just for coloring and/or a splash of vanilla! Can’t wait to make these!!! 🥰😋
Stephanie, you are wonderful. I've made several of your recipes. They have never failed. I love your hints. We are so lucky to have someone like you to help us to be better bakers. Thanks very much.
Made these, they are just wonderful . Making them again today with a mix of pecans and macadamia nuts. As usual another great recipe from J o B.thank you.
Joy, my dahling.. you are a “Joy” to watch.. I tried these n boy, they are awesome!! Thank you for ALL your wonderfully explained recipes ..🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️👏
Hi again Stephanie, I posted a message to you 2 days ago, which you kindly replied to about using maple syrup (instead of golden syrup) and mixed nuts (instead of just pecans), as it was all I had in the house at the time, you said this should work, I just had to write back to you, I made them that day and they were stunning! If anyone is undecided about whether or not to make these, please make them, you won’t be disappointed, I made them to freeze to get ahead a little for the holidays and we’ve gone and eaten the whole tray! (Only my husband and I!)..So moist and moreish, I’m making another batch tomorrow, I can’t guarantee they’ll make the freezer either! 🥶…..thank you so much for this amazing recipe…..you’re the best! X🇬🇧💕X
Golden Syrup is popular in Australia as well. Though we can get the Lyle brand, we also have our own as sugar cane grows in Australia. The European products if they are not getting their sugar from the Caribbean, the sugar will have been derived from beets. As a child I remember have butter and golden syrup on bread to eat after school, or on a weetbix.
ophelia dikki ...actually sugar can also be derived from corn, amongst other things. Sugar beets used to be a major source of sugar for some high-latitude regions, but some areas no longer do this since it is cheaper to import, due to the excessively low wages and zero environmental regulations of overseas locales.
Dear Stephanie, I made your pecan squares and they were absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us😀 Making more right now! Yummy😋
I've looked and looked for golden syrup and never could find it. I'm glad I found your Pecan Squares Recipe and now I know where to get golden syrup. I love pecan pie, but it's a bit sweet for me. Maybe this will be just a bit less sweet, but still yummy. I also like the idea of having brown sugar in the short bread. Thank you for this video. I'm ordering golden syrup right now.
Hi Stephanie....I have made so many of your recipes and followed you for a long time...EVERYTHING has always come out PERFECTLY!! I even made your chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream frosting for our wedding~!! I didn't want to make a whole pecan pie so I tried these so I can share with neighbors...the came out great! Thank you for sharing with such clarity and attention to detail...you make it so easy to learn and your recipes are wonderful.... I make your molasses cookies often as well and EVERYONE loves them~!!
Just made this, and it was absolutely delicious. I didn't have the cane syrup (and even though it's sold in Texas stores, it is expensive), so I used the corn syrup as suggested (but I used 1/4 dark and 1/4 cup light corn syrup- as many southern pecan pie recipes suggest this method). Also, instead of using 1 tbsp of flour in the mixture, I used 1 1/2 tsp corn starch. I used the vanilla in the crust, too. This is a keeper- because it's very much like a pecan pie- but it uses much less of the amount of ingredients compared to a pie and the portions are so much smaller. I've only come across your channel recently, and I thoroughly enjoy your methodology. Thank you for helping me become a better baker.
I've only just discovered you. Your recipes and videos are amazing. Everything makes perfect sense. I haven't made these - yet but I'll give the a go. Thank you - from the Scottish Highlands (where we love golden Syrup on pancakes, toast - everything really)
I was sceptical about adding all that golden syrup but these pecan squares turned out perfectly! They were not cloyingly sweet and were very moreish. I will definitely be making these again.
Oh my gosh these bars look amazing 😍 I need to make them because I need those in my life lol. Yum I love pecans ! It’s ok to use sugar substitute or coconut sugar instead of brown or white sugar?
I planned on making these for Thanksgiving, but I received my order of Lyle's Golden Syrup yesterday and i could wait no longer. Made them today and they are scrumptious. I'll confess to adding a bit more pecans but I think you'll say there's no harm in that. ;) Thank you for another keeper of a recipe.
Yummy, I gotta try this recipe. Hey, I have some shagbark hickory nuts that I harvest and dried myself. I was thinking of substituting them for the pecans. I read that they are some of the best tasting nuts in the world, and they are from the same hickory family as pecans.
I have the Golden in my pantry. Unmistakable luscious flavor. Years ago my mother in law brought some Roger’s Golden from Saskatchewan in Canada. I’ll try this with my pecan pie or bars. Great idea. 🐾🐾
We just enjoyed this while still very warm from the oven, topped with whipped cream. My husband's response, "This is really good!" Yes, I agree! Thank you!! I added one tablespoon of maple syrup to a measuring cup, then added light corn syrup to reached the 1/2 cup measurement. Not sure the maple made any difference in such a small quantity, but the finished texture was A+ perfect.
Thank you so much for this yummy 😋 recipe. I love the way you explain everything step by step. Sending 🫂 hugs all the way from CapeTown South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
Great video. I plan on making them tomorrow. So much quicker than tassies which is a family favorite. I think my neighbors will love them. You really are an excellent teacher. Thanks Mary
My mentor, you are the best all the way even when most of the items are not available I still try my best to bake it. Have it taste nice and I always repeat the cake once I get the whole ingredients. I give it to you. Keep the spirit.
My grandmothers used Golden Syrup in tin cans and I use it too! Found the syrup in our grocery store know as Ingles in South Carolina in glass jars and tin can.
I’ve just made my 3rd batch of these amazing squares in only 1 week! They’re so tasty, I put (recommended by Stephanie) 1 tablespoon of bourbon instead of the vanilla, just amazing, thanks Stephanie and Rick, our tummies love you! (Not our waistlines though!) 🤭 xx🇬🇧💕xx
If you really have a sweet tooth, try sprinkling a cup of dark chocolate chips over the pecans. Then, to really go hard core, warm one of the bars in the microwave for 30sec and plop a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Scrumptious!
Another little tid-bit about the Golden Syrup, in Australia it was also known as Cocky's Joy (an early Australian cattle farmer was also know as a cocky) because it was eaten by a farmer with a simple hot damper. Nowadays you can have it with crusty fresh bread and butter! PS the pecan squares are beautiful!
@@sandytaylor3404 No it’s a golden dream. I live in the UK 🇬🇧 and it’s so nice to live where one of the ingredients are. I watch so much American baking and am always disappointed if something is used I either don’t have or can’t substitute, but for once, I have it in my cupboard xxxx
Hi! Mis. Joy I just made my pecan bars I didn’t have the golden syrup so I used maple 🍁 syrup and they are delicious thank you so much for the recipe I know I will be making these bars at every holiday for now on 🤗 happy holidays to you and all your family as well as all your viewers 🤗💕
Thank you so much, Stephanie, for this wonderful recipe. I will be making them for my daughter-in-law-to-be (she pronounces pecans as "PEE-cans". We live in Central Alabama. I, being from VIrginia, have always called these nuts "PEE-cahns" [You say potato, I say paw-tayh-toe . . .]. Please have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with your family. You work so hard and I hope you will really enjoy yourself! Love all of your videos, and your website.
I ordered the Lyle's golden syrup from Amazon and will makes it this Friday. My son's 50th Birthday is Saturday and he ask me to make him something special. I thought this would be a pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy not a lot of clean with this recipe too....another good one Joy ....and I can't wait to give it a try. I'm so hooked on 'brown butter' chocolate chip cookies....it's that 'brown butter'...I just love it! How about an easy sweet brown butter cookie recipe?...soft and chewy????
I think Stephanie is a pretty name...I got 'joy' out of watching your baking...so what's in a name...smiling at cha. I noticed you took a smaller piece of your 'delicious' looking pecan squares...seriously, it's difficult to practice self-control and I seem to love all things high in calories....carbs...darn it all! I'd never heard of 'golden' syrup until this recipe....I'm sure that I am going to love it...I think brown sugar gives a wonderful flavor to baked goods as well.
Great video! What a nice and simple version, and not too much butter which is great. I agree, golden syrup is wonderful. Anything you can do to add more flavour is a bonus! I will definitely be trying and sharing this recipe! Thank you!!

I used walnuts and corn syrup. No one noticed they were walnuts and they weren't too sweet.
I was just thinking maple syrup sounds like a nice substitute for the syrup. Thank you for sharing.
Omg that sounds just scrumptious!
Like the way you give your measurements in both cups and grams, that's helpful.
Thanks you for sharing.
Trying this recipe in Russia, Far East (right near China) ⭐️ I bake with you since my US trip in 2009 💖 I love your recipes 😘
И как на вкус? Яичная прослойка не сильно яйцами отдает?

This is such a great and easy recipe! I prefer this to pecan pie any day! Just made THREE batches to take to work! Turned out amazing!

Remlat Zargonix Sugar Cane is most popular with C&H being the leader😍
Also yummy on pancakes.

Love how you used the plant stand for your pots by the window. Excellent storage idea!
It is actually a stand designed for pots.
Perfect recipe! Your Pecan Squares looks very tempting! Thank you!😊🌸
Terrific recipe for the coming holiday season (or any time, really).
Those look amazing and you baked them with such joy!

You answered my question just as I was wondering if it tasted anything like a pecan pie! I think I will have to try this!
Thank you Stephany no matter what recipe you show it is always a pleasure to watch you
Thank you! I love anything that includes toasted pecans.
I love, love, love that you pronounce pecan correctly! Thank you!
I was sceptical about adding all that golden syrup but these pecan squares turned out perfectly! They were not cloyingly sweet and were very moreish. I will definitely be making these again.

I didn’t have golden syrup so Canadian cook that I am I used maple syrup instead. V tasty.
Is golden syrup, honey?? I do have pure maple. USA.
@@sandytaylor3404 no, it's not honey, but maple syrup will work
