Chocolate-Free Variations on the Best Pecan Pie

For those who aren't fans of the chocolate variety of pies, we have a couple substitutes that may strike your fancy. Butterscotch pecan pie made with whipping cream, Irish cream, Toffee, and peanut butter containing pecans and peanuts, have all been well received by friends and family. If you like your pecan pie to have a little kick, I would suggest Irish cream or an almond amaretto pie.
