As kids, when my Mom’s family got together there were some staples you could absolutely count on being there. This is one of those dishes. There is rarely a family get together that doesn’t have this dessert on the table somewhere and there are always plenty of taste testers, so we can guarantee this recipe is a good one (read more about the size of our family here)!
There are creamy layers and thick, rich chocolate on top of a pecan shortbread crust. It’s a classic, layered, potluck style, no-frills dessert that is certain to please your crowd, of any size. ~Kathy
