Says Allan Stackhouse, Jr. in Jennings, Louisiana: "I’ll have to admit these ribs are finger-lickin’ good and fall-off-the-bone tender! I’ve made them for a lot of my buddies—including my preacher—and some have even suggested that I try bottling my sauce and selling it to the public!"

Super yummy! I didn't have molasses so I subbed maple syrup. Very good. Ribs were literally falling off of the bone. Can't wait to make them again.

This sauce is amazing and making ribs in the slow cooker makes them falling off the bone tender!

Absolutely easy to make and loved it! Will make it again in the future and am planning on making the BBQ sauce separately for other meals. Next time I will allow another hour to cook, as I used Pork Shoulder and it was not quite fall off the bone tender, but still delicious.

Very, very good, EXCELLENT, my guests asked for recipe. You know when they ask for the recipe, it's good! I used Toni Chachere's Creole season because that's what I had on hand to use and because I'm also lazy, I mixed corn startch whith water and added to BBQ sauce mix and let it cook in the crock pot, the sauce thicken up beautifully! A keeper recipe, Thanks!

PS. I didn't have molasses, so I used light corn syrup instead. It worked beautifully with everything else and was absolutely divine!
