When we were in Kauai (you can read all about that trip HERE), one of our most favorite desserts was the Hula Pie from Duke’s Cafe. It was glorious – I mean, just look at that thing! With the twins here we don’t have any trips to Kauai planned for the near future, so I recreated my own version of this Hawaiian specialty at home. It turned out just as delicious, although it wasn’t quite the same eating it at my counter as it is eating on a beautiful island. 馃槈

- macadamia nuts chopped
Instructions
