Fudgy Pecan Pie
Crunchy pecans top the sweet fudge filling in this twist on the classic Southern pecan pie. Adding HERSHEY'S Cocoa to this fudgy pecan pie recipe results in a fudge filling that's as delicious as it gets. HERSHEY'S Cocoa adds richness, while heaps of pecans add a nutty crunch. Don't forget the whipped cream on top — either homemade or store-bought. This Fudgy Pecan Pie is perfect for Thanksgiving Day or a special occasion dinner dessert. Take those leftover pecans and make these decadent Butter Pecan Squares.
