I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. I used toasted pecans instead of almonds because I prefer pecans.

The wild rice is nutty / chewy. I enjoyed it though I might prefer experimenting with other rice types or a wild rice blend in the future. My boyfriend loved the recipe just the way it was. 🙂

Totally scrumptious and delectably rich. We couldn’t stop eating this, including my 18 year old son.
