I believe people who don't use the silicone spatula aren't really cooks just people copying the video for clicks.
I am a seasoned cook who used to volunteer in a kitchen for homeless serving 200 folks at a time. I thought I had developed an ability to teach all our volunteers how to cook, but your calm and practical way of teaching just takes the cake! (Yes, pun intended). What a great way to make ahead and serve one of my favorite southern desserts.

Great recipe. I always have a weakness for the pecan bars at certain bakeries. I was looking for a recipe, and this was perfect. It tasted just like the fancy bars that they charge $3.99 for at my bakery. I only had the Grandma's Molasses, and they still are amazing.

I’m Canadian, and we get “Fancy Molasses” or black strap. I’ve continued ordering molasses from Canada the 20 years I’ve lived in the USA. I ordered what I thought was blackstrap ~ same molasses as you used. Guess what? It tastes just like the fancy mo,asses from home that I’ve been ordering and am now done ordering. Just going to use Grandmas from now on. Lol

I've always loved my filling, but I ruin it with the crust or buy one I am unimpressed with. This looks like a fabulous alternative. I discovered how great blackstrap molasses is when I couldn't find dark Karo syrup. So, I added 1/4 cup to 3/4 cup light and wow! It was a bit too rich, but I noticed the beautiful consistency. One tablespoon sounds like it would be perfect. I look forward to trying this recipe out!
My husband and son would love this dessert as they are both pecan pie lovers. I grew up with black strap molasses and I still keep it on hand to use in my baked beans. Sweet but with way more flavor in the right dishes!

I asked my husband if we were going to share with his family by dropping some off. He said no. We are keeping this lol. Also for anyone in my same situation. I didn’t have the molasses she had. I had a stag horn or something. It worked just fine! Thanks so much for the recipe

Sooooo Much better than the pie🥧 you'll love em!
I made these today. When I copied the recipe, I didn’t write down the 3/4 cup of white sugar. As I was pouring the filling over the crust I thought “it’s kind thin, I wonder if I missed some thickener?” I was tempted to tip out the filling and add the sugar; but it was already 10 minutes into the 30 minute baking. So, I just left it alone. Just took them out, and had a taste …. Guess what? They are perfectly fine WITHOUT the sugar! They might not be stiff enough to eat like a bar, but they’re plenty still enough to eat with ice cream and are absolute DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing the recipe. ❤️

I checked out your web site. LOVE how there is a button that allows one to "skip to the recipe." (unlike other people's sites where you scroll & scroll ... just to make a grocery list and get out the door). Also cool that you have the site and You Tube coordinated together. 😊
I’ve only tried tempering eggs for a pie filling once. It failed miserably, after that I just make them like my Mom and Grandma did, which is put the eggs in with the sugar, eggs, etc and everything warms up at the same time and no scrambled eggs. I plan to make your recipe for these bars for Christmas, I know they will go fast. Merry Christmas!

I made these last night. I didn't make the shortbread and instead used Trader Joe's Butter Puff Pastry which was a perfect fit in the pan. I docked it and prebaked but it puffed up super big. Clearly its not the right type of dough for this. I flipped it over so the puff deflated and made the filling. I added 2 tbs of bourbon to the filling after the sugar mix was off the heat. Next time I'll add 3tbs of bourbon because it was really so delicious!
