So every year for Thanksgiving I am responsible for the desserts, big surprise there!! The funny thing is I am not a baker unless you count things from a box or no bake pudding pies. So I usually always order the desserts from a great local bakery, this year we had yummy bite sized desserts from Sweet Petite Desserts and they were nothing short of amazing. In addition to these desserts I found a recipe in my Family circle magazine that I just had to try and it looked easy enough for me not to mess up.  It was for coconut-chocolate pecan pie, which are all of my dad’s and husband’s favorite ingredients. This was my very first pie, I do not count the pudding pies because there is no baking involved…but they are equally as awesome, so much so that I’ll have to do another whole blog post on just those!! Anyway, the pie turned out PERFECT and I was so proud of myself…although I do feel bad for my family because they will be getting this for every holiday during the next year.

Here is the recipe that I am sure you all will love, courtesy of familycircle.com!
