Pecan Pie has to be one of my hubby’s favorite pies, so I thought this dessert would be a win. Sadly it was just ok. The flavor is good, it just made the bread really chewy and almost hard. Maybe if you cut the bread up into small cubes instead of 1 inch cubes like I did it might be better.

Pour evenly over the bread pieces. Use a rubber spatula to push and "prod" the bread pieces around in the dish until all are coated in the syrupy mixture.
