THE best pecan pie EVER! I just love white chocolate and I've never been that big a pecan pie fan, but this has changed me. This was just scrumptious. I had to have 2 pieces the second day!! -
I made this recipe for a fundraiser at my job, and my co-workers are still asking me for the recipe. I thought is was great. I plan on making this again and again. Thank you for the recipe! -
I didn't bake this myself, I just ate it. It really was perfect. The white chocolate adds just the right touch. Nutty, not cloyingly sweet. Definately make again.
