I Believe She Made A Pecan Pie... Grassy Knoll Nov 2017 #29

Exactly. nt BootinUp Nov 2017 #32

I say it's real (she used frozen pie crust and ready made filling, added chocolate). betsuni Nov 2017 #30

Like others already pointed out, there seems to be no chocolate in that pie. LisaL Nov 2017 #31

It's the lying. We shouldn't just get used to the lying and not object. SunSeeker Nov 2017 #38

I'm right. The pie is real. Lots of people use canned fillings and pre-made crusts. betsuni Nov 2017 #43

Look at the photo - Most normal people would take a photo of the pie sitting on their table womanofthehills Nov 2017 #76

First, it is not a chocolate pecan pie. It is a plain pecan pie. And it is huge, like from Costco. SunSeeker Nov 2017 #33
