Very, very good! I was running out of pecans and so couldn't add quite as much as the recipe called for...and it didn't matter even one small bit! As several others stated...tastes very similar to a pecan pie but not quite as sweet so it tastes better. Thanks Nimz!!!

Followed your recipe right on down & ended up with some VERY TASTY TREATS that were devoured by one of the smaller monthly groups that I host (even more so when they found out it came from a Weight Watchers cookbook! Will be making this again from time to time! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
