What makes this recipe special is the soft and fudgy texture. The base starts with crushed graham crackers, which soak up a sweet blend of evaporated milk, sugar, and butter. Next, a dash of vanilla and cinnamon add some beautiful warm notes. The final step is folding in some mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans for that sweet and nutty combo. Spread the batter in a lined baking dish and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes.
