Hmm, I wonder if this recipe came from Missouri or Kansas (since both states have their own Kansas City)? Regardless of its origin, this pecan-crusted Kansas City Mud Pie is a fabulous way to wrap up an evening. If you’re saving this for a special occasion, remember to drizzle with raspberry sauce and top it with fresh raspberries just before serving.
