Arthropodic treats

Had a couple of pieces of pastry dough left over from a veggie pie I had made so drizzled honey on them and added cinnamon, nutmeg, and crushed pecans. Rolled 'em up and put 'em on the rack of our new super-duper-can-cook-anything-perfectly steam oven and let the vaporized water do its magic. The bottoms sunk through the grill creating dozens of "legs" as you see in the pic. I carefully pried them out, placed them on the crazy samurai plate, then concealed their hideousness beneath generous shovelfuls of vanilla ice cream. The tops were warm and flaky; insides gooey, sweet and piping hot; and the "feet" were a searing crispy honey-toffee... unbelieveably good for things that look like a couple of overfed centipedes.
