The first time I tasted my friend's dessert was at a Christmas party that she was having. I got a copy of the recipe and now it's a yuletide tradition for my family. The white chips, cranberries and orange peel take pecan pie to a scrumptious new level. —Karen Moore, Jacksonville, Florida

This was absolutely delicious and is a family fav for sure. So much easier than making individual tarts. So glad this recipe was shared.
