CHOCOLATE PECAN PAVLOVA
This will definitely capture your taste buds! This recipe is one of my family's favorites-especially at the holidays. Although it may take a little longer to make and assemble, it is truly worth the work. It's a rich-tasting, light dessert that everyone will enjoy. I usually use pecans, but you can substitute walnuts, hazelnuts or other nuts. —Nancy Preussner, Delhi, Iowa
