I've always preferred hazelnuts to pecans when just noshing nuts, so why shouldn't I adore them in a pie! These were great (thanks to Chia for sending the corn syrup -- I live in a corn syrup desert). I served pieces of pie with some whipped cream on top drizzled with chocolate syrup and a sprinkling of cinnamon. I have some very happy friends, and an even happier dentist, this stuff is sticky!

This is a great dessert. I made it for Thanksgiving and was taken aback how easy it is to make. Everyone enjoyed it too. The filling is excellent on this and believe it is due to using white sugar versus brown.. it gives it a nice light sweet taste.... Thank you for sharing this recipe.
