  1. Because I am diabetic, I made this with Sugar Twin's brown "sugar" and Log Cabin's Maple flavored syrup made with Splenda. It turned out wonderful. These won't last long in my house. I can only imagine how the must taste with the "real" stuff. Whether you make it exactly according to the recipe or make it sugar free, you should try this one. It's WONDERFUL! Thanks for posting.
     
  2. These are beyond delicious. They should be illegal. Best bar dessert I've ever made or tasted. By the way, I left out the nuts because my husband isn't a big fan. Scrumptious.
     
  3. These squares are very very good. The filling was too soft. Maybe if I would have simmered the maple syrup and brown sugar a little longer then 5 minutes the filling would have been a little firmer. Besides that, these square are well worth it.
     
  4. These pecan bars tasted like heaven on earth. The maple syrup, obviously is the key ingredient. The crust was light and flakey. (sp?) I made these to take to work for our Thanksgiving deal. Enjoyed by everyone. Thanks for posting this recipe.
     
  5. Tasted great but I think next time I will use parchement paper so it's easier to get out of the pan.
