This is a great tasting dessert. Be aware that it is not super sweet like most pecan pies, and that it is more like a European style dessert. Also, I found that the filling didn't fill the dish as much as I would have liked, so you might want to do 1 1/2 recipes or something to make more filling. The filling for me baked into a nice layer-look with the pecans and chocolate toward the top and the syrupy-gel layer under that. Altogether a wonderful dessert, that suited us well since we like less sweet desserts. It felt like something from Germany!

I did the photo for this soup. I used green beans and petite and regular diced tomatoes instead of the lima beans and stewed tomatoes. Watch the salt level with beef broth (I used cubes and it was a bit salty) and season to taste with Old Bay. Simmer longer for better flavor. This is very similar to the Old Bay recipe listed as well. Being from Maryland and now living elsewhere, this brought me back to home!
