I added a layer if mini chocolate chips to my faux pecan pie last year, on top of the crust before adding the pretzel layer! Oh, and I mixed the pretzels with the sugar/butter base before filling the pie! Yummmmmmmmmmm! No one can tell the difference ! And without the expense of pecans!!!

I love to cook! My husband is very thin so he can eat anything!! He was raised on a farm so was a meat and tater man. Used to say anything other than meat and taters was exotic food.
<br>We've been married 40+ years so he is used to my experiments.
