Basically a chocolate sheet cake that for some reason got made whenever someone died. Every family funeral I have ever been to on my mom's side of the family had at least one of these cakes.

I used to try to sneak a few pieces before you kids gobbled the whole thing up but you all were always quicker than me. That cake is the best!

(or were, I was planning to save them to make spiced pecans for Xmas gifts but I went through the two whole bags all by myself even before the holidays. A handful here a few handfuls there... hard to resist!) I did make some sugared pecans but with the regular old Trader Joe's variety... good recipe: melt butter, add sugar and a little cinnamon, toss with pecans then bake until golden brown. Good over ice cream. My mom brought me two large bags of shelled pecans from Louisiana over Thanksgiving… they are incredible!
