Pecan Pie Squares

That looks good already, doesn't it

Hey, y'all, today I'm doing one of my favorite desserts. This is a pecan pie bar

I have gone through 1,500 million cake boxes. This is the main ingredient for our gooey butter cakes

and it's a great way to take a little shortcut if you're doing desserts at your house

I'm gonna melt one stick of butter and I've got my box of cake mix here

I've pulled out a third of it because I'm gonna use it in the top. But we're gonna do exactly what the directions say

I'm gonna crack one egg in here and I'm gonna add half a cup of butter

which is one stick of butter when this gets melted. Okay, our butter's melted enough, y'all

We're going into two thirds of a box of cake mix, one egg and one stick of butter

I'm going to mix this up. I've got some spray down in my pan

I'm going to press this down into the bottom. Make sure you get all of this

Super easy It easy and simple Have y had a chance to see the dunk tank that we shot

We played in a dunk tank yesterday. And my friend right here, Jamie Prescott, Gordon, y'all know

Gordon's a great guy. He loves to play games with the crew. There was one time he had a little coffee

can and a 50-cent piece. You could flip it over your shoulder without looking

and ring the can, you'd win an amount of money. So when we had the dunk tank here

Gordon said, from 45 feet, if anybody can dunk me, I'll give you $500

and I'll give $500 to the Bag Lady Foundation. And my man right there, JP, did it yesterday

It was awesome. Nice shot. Catch that on the network. Yep. So we got three eggs, y'all

This is going to be our top. Oh, wait, I almost forgot. I got to bake this off. So this is going to the oven a little bit

We're going to par-bake this. This is what it looks like. Almost a little bit like a shortbread

We've got one and a half cups of white corn syrup. Here's a third of our cake mix that I've held back

We've got half a cup of brown sugar. We've got half a cup, this is dark brown sugar

and two cups of bear's favorite pecans. We gave those a little rough chop And finally we gonna put in some vanilla extract One teaspoon Now let get this going

This is going to be more loose. This will pour easier than your cake mix part will

We've got a peach milkshake, y'all. It would be so good with these pecans

That could be your little Georgia treat day. I have pecan squares and peach milkshakes

Here, we're going to pour this on the top. Delicious. That looks good already, doesn't it

Okay, this is going to go in a 350 oven for 30 minutes. and here you go look how delicious that is you can see how the corn syrup and

the brown sugar has just made it so shiny and beautiful here we go

this is just like a pecan pie but you get to eat it in a bar

that looks good See how pretty that is

The bottom is crusty and the top is creamy Let try it You like pecans Gordo Oh God thanks for asking I was over there having a moment Take a look at Gordon Do you know what

I was thinking sitting over there. Why don't we have another one of those coin toss competitions right now

Okay. Let's do it. Let's put it down the sand, right? I love to play games. Come on out here

Anyone on the crew who gets it gets $1,000. Wow. That'll make that day interesting

Am I part of a crew? No. Oh. I'm not even sure if the coin will stick in the bowl

Oh, you don't even have to stick it in the bowl. Oh, sorry

It's going to be tough. Come on, Jen. Oh

You went for the bounce. Oh. So close. $1,000. Get it in
