Worst dessert: Pecan pie à la mode 810 calories 65 g fat 55 g sugars Eat this instead: Chocolate fondue 340 calories 10 g fat 28 g sugars In the wide world of holiday pies, nothing is worse than a slice of pecan. Blame the filling, which is a sickly-sweet sludge of corn syrup and sugar. Fondue, in comparison, is a fun and relatively healthy way to splurge after a big meal.
