What is your favorite sweet? We would love for you to share a recipe or link to place that serves it. Pictures are great, too!
Well generally speaking I love sweets, period. But I’d say that probably the only thing in the world more decadent than pecan pie is chocolate pecan pie — a la mode. I mean, it’s got butter. It’s got 3 different types of sugar, one of them in liquid form. It’s like someone sat down and tried to invent the most deliciously fattening food imaginable.
We found an amazing recipe from one of our favorite food bloggers and can’t wait to try it!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for taking the time to reconnect with us. We look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
