These were absolutely wonderful. Made them pre Thanksgiving to try them out and they were great! I don't like super sweet , so I decreased the sugar a bit (used coconut sugar from Whole Foods-supposed to be lower glycemic) and left out the marshmallows. The coconut added a bit of sweetness and a lot of flavor, but is not overwhelming coconut flavor. Added extra pecans. DELICIOUS! Making for Thanksgiving tomorrow and I'm sure it will get raves. Also, great to use the crock pot and have 1 less thing that needs to go in the oven!
