I’ve come across a ton of unique desserts that have made me want to get in the kitchen, but until now, I had never found anything that caught my eye as much as this.
It’s called “Poor Man’s Pecan Pie,” and it’s sweet, crunchy, syrupy and delicious. It’s pretty similar in flavor to pecan pie, but it contains no pecans or corn syrup and has a totally different texture.
