Simple to make, but the real fun CUMS after making it. I decided to have a girlie day and Come together, I mean, make Baileys GET together. My 4 open legged,
I mean, open minded friends(all girls) and I. We tried making the Bailey's 3 ways. With all this,
to measuring the size of our bellybuttons, to guessing the size of the our fruits by feel, to the pass around the panties contest.
What type of pass around the panty contest.. OK just force me to tell ya, best scented panties win. OK, force me again, this was also followed by a taste test, what kind of taste test, let your imagination wander, whydontcha.
One of my favorite things ever, yep! I think women have a real knack for tasting each others, ya know, homemade goodies. MMM, MMM Good.
Don't get mad fellow Bailey girlchickfriends, you'll be thanking me tonight after your hubsters read this post. If they want a show,
you know my number, I am here. Ready for action. YOU must provide the batteries this time. Slurp. Wink.To go along with this delicious gift, I chose one more delicious treat, Pecan Squares from my friend Rosie. You must all know her by now. If not, go say hi. Fantastic blog, she posts nearly every day, always something great cooking. These are phenomenally delicious!!
Begin by making the base. Work together your flour, powdered sugar and chilled, sliced butter till crumbly. Using this trick
I learned from Rosie, spread the dough evenly into a 9 X 13 pan. I use this trick all the time now, rather than petting, I mean patting, where is my filthy mind, things together into a pan, it works so wonderfully, and such an even bottom crust it makes. Now bake this crust for 15 min at 350..
For the filling, gather these. Beat the egg a little in the bowl, and add the condensed milk and vanilla.
Then mix in the pecans and toffee bits.
Pour this deliciousness over the prepared crust. Spread out evenly.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. , OR UNTIL GOLDEN,
I think I let mine go a few too long. Let cool and then chill the suckers.
They are beyond good.
They are sinful. Quite addictive.
I will be adding these to my Christmas tray next year.
I love them, wonderful, wonderful taste!!
Another keeper, Rosie.
Just a side note, I have been getting some emails about where my recipes are, so if you are reading me via a reader, you have to visit my blog to get the recipe, they are at the bottom of my posts on the key ingredient cards. Butery crust, toffee pecan caramel like topping.. so delicious! So ...Pecan Squares






















Oh man, I love Baileys! And I'm confident enough in my manliness to admit it. Heh. I definitely need to make that.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you ladies had fun with the homemade Baileys and with each other lol. We love to entertain so I am definitely going to have to try this. I don't have too many alcoholic recipes but this sounds yummy. The pecan squares look delicious too.
ReplyDeleteI wanna taste those pecan squares,too tempting Donna....
ReplyDeleteI love those pecan squares. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI feel all warm and tingly inside and I don't think it's from the Baileys, lol. You are a riot.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read your post title I thought that the pecan bars would contain Baileys and I thought, "That's different".
ReplyDeleteI ceased to be disappointed that they were two different recipes when I saw just how good both recipes looked. I've never seen pecan bars with toffee in them. Serious yum!
If it's really going to knock my clothese off though, I probably wouldn't drink the Baileys in public.
I used to make a coffee flavored Kahlua, the Bailey's looked like a winner!
ReplyDeleteI've been making Bailey's for years now - so easy! Much mroe fun than buying a bottle! Now, the epcan squares have lept to my tummy and I already need to workout. That's how much I crave them.
ReplyDeleteLove that recipe! You shouldn't have posted it when I just started watching what I eat! (Going to copy it anyway!)
ReplyDeleteSo hungry for the pecan squares, I made a ton of typos. I am dizzy!
ReplyDeleteIRISH only jameson . oh you don't own any panties i was told wait wear any panties . you probably own brand new ones.
ReplyDeleteYummmmoooo! Those sqaures look delish! I tried your chocolate cream cheese peanut butter bars this weekend and they were really, really good :) Great recipe! Yummm!
ReplyDeleteWe usually make some Bailey's in the winter... my gardener likes it in his coffee. Haven't made any yet... better get busy!
ReplyDeleteMy gawd, those pecan squares sound and look amazing!! Ps- you'll have to have a baileys party again and try to make the Bailey's Caramel (sooo good) and an excuse to have another party! :)
ReplyDeleteNext time you have one of these parties, I wanna come :)
ReplyDeleteGreat recipes! Sorry I missed the taste testing party though.... sounds like fun
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this recipe!!! I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, someone gave me this recipe a few years ago, now I am going to have to give it a whirl, or maybe my room might be whirling :o)
ReplyDeleteI love the glass on its side, says a lot about how good it was! The recipe is a good one too!
That must have been some party! Both recipes look and sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of making it myself...genius and thanks for sharing it with us gals.
ReplyDeleteI am certain that a bottle of this would not last the night here at ChezWhat - and you can take that to the bank!
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting - you make your own Bailey's at home!
ReplyDeletewow Homemade Baileys! I would love to try it.
ReplyDeleteThe pecan slices look marvellous. You are a baking queen!
Those pecan squares look so good! My husband loves pecan pie so I can't wait to try them out. I made your one pot brownies and they were wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe pecan bars look great. Would they work with melted chocolate drizzled or spread over the top. Not sure why I thought of that? ;)
ReplyDeleteIs it too early for a little happy hour drinky drink? ... I think not. I'll take some of those pecan square, too.
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me that I could make my own Baileys. Do you get Bailey's Haagen Dazs over there? It's marvellous stuff...
ReplyDeleteDonna, great drink with condensed milk, must really taste yummie! I can go for it at anytime :-) The pecan square look absolutely delicious...yummie!
ReplyDeleteI had no clue that you could make homemade Bailey's Irish Cream...the pecan squares look great! Have a pot luck next week at work and I think those would go over great....Thanks Donna!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you could make Baileys. Wow, what a cool recipe! Oh, and next time, I want an invitation to the party! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou do tell a heck of a story... my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail
ReplyDeleteMmmmm homemade Baileys...yum! I saw someone make this same thing on another blog. I gotta give it a try. I love me some Baileys but find it's getting quite expensive to drink a lot of the stuff...haha. The pecan bars look great too. Mr.NN would love them!
ReplyDeleteMy sister makes homemade Baileys every year and it is so good! Those pecan squares look pretty awesome too.
ReplyDeleteThat's really very nice of your friend. Giving you homemade bailey's, then giving you the recipe...
ReplyDeletenow i have to make this! well...both but especially the baileys! YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteI never even knew that you could make your own Baileys. I'm having visions of Bailey's and cream filled strawberries. Have you ever had those? Delicious! The pecan bars look delicious. I think if I happened to be around your house with all those cookies then I would surely gain at least 10 pounds ;D
ReplyDeleteLUV Baileys in hot coffee with whipped cream. What a great recipe. I've seen other Bailey's recipes; this one is by far the best looking. A keeper!
ReplyDeletehow fun, i didn't think you could make something like that yourself. i also LOVE those pecan bars, mmmmmmm. sounds like you gals had a fun night ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like making this was so much fun! Donna, you are such a sweetheart, I can't believe you give out New Year's gifts! The recipients of these goodies are some lucky ducks! ;)
ReplyDeleteA shot of Bailey's in a cup of coffee sounds wonderful. The weather is so cold and blustery here. Despite my resolve to leave cookies alone for awhile I'm making those pecan bars.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm send some of those bars to my house would ya? I used to love Bailey's and actually made some many, many years ago. Don't have a clue how I did it though LOL! Too long ago. Too many drinks ago. Sounds like a winner Donna.
ReplyDeleteOH, I sure wish I could I could have some Bailey's right now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! I love Bailey's over chocolate ice cream!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you made your own Bailey's! I love these pecan bars! So much easier than making my favorite pecan pie.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful winners if you ask me....Pour me some!
ReplyDeleteThose pecan bars look TO DIE FOR! Yummy! I really like Bailey's. My grandma used to make her own too. I'll have to check her recipe. I wonder how close they are. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI am all for making my own Baileys...I plan on making VATS of the stuff, lol! Sounds like you had quite the party, my friend ;) Your squares are quite a treat too.
ReplyDeletePecans with Heath bar is like slapping us in the face with too much good stuff! Can't you box those up and send them out?
ReplyDeleteI have to go with the pecan bars, my hubby's favorite. We do want happy hubbys. I know, the Bailey's works too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I am always wanted to make homemade Bailey's. I am definitely trying it!
ReplyDeleteOh that reminds me...My neighbor didn't give us any homemade Irish cream this year. Dang it!
ReplyDeleteI made pecan pie bars this holiday too and they were SOO good. Everyone loved them. I've never seen them with toffee bits in them before. I bet they were awesome.
Wow. Homemade Baileys. Count me in. We had a friend who used to host breakfast parties and made his French toast with Baileys. It was the best.
ReplyDeleteSam
Girl, your site rocks! I love pecan sqaures!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to make a homemade Baileys! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! I have got to make both of those! I'm not so sure my girl friends would be nearly as exciting as your's though lol!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you made your own Bailey's! That's insane. Too bad you didn't post this a week earlier, then I wouldn't ahve had to buy a bottle. but now you have no excuses but to make those guinness cupcakes. Really.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have no excuse but to make these pecan bars. They look ridiculously insanely awesome.
What a great combo, I love pecan bars!
ReplyDeleteMy LORD - this looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWaw,...Donna! Home made Bayleys!! And those squares look so tasty,...damn good!
ReplyDeletePecan squares are calling my name Donna - they look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have to spend a Saturday with girlfriends and make that Bailey's. Sounds so good. Love your squares also.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you can make homemade Baileys! How awesome!!! I can't wait to give it a try!!
ReplyDeleteWow! homemade baileys?! I have got to try that! The pecan squares look so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Bailey's recipe!
