Pecan Cobbler

I usually only make pecan pie during the holidays and even then....it's iffy. It's not my favorite or even IT Guy's favorite but he does really like it. That's how I knew he would really like this. This "cobbler" is super-duper easy to make and once you read the directions on how it's made, you're going be like....what the what? And you get what? Yep...you get a really good dessert that's a cross between a pecan pie and a gooey cobbler. And make sure you've got some vanilla ice cream on hand...you're gonna need it. I promise.
