Thanks for the recipe. Love Cheesecake, any and all kinds, and anything and everything with CHOCOLATE in it! 🙂
I have a chocolate cheesecake recipe too 🙂
Candy canes!!!
On the tree, Heather? 🙂
Well, that’s one good place. But I LOVE eating them!!! I like to stir my coffee or coco with them, and decorate with them. Nothing says Christmas like candy canes all over the place!
My favorite growing up was the Yule Log my grandmother would make. It was so wonderful. We would all fight over the ends because they had the most frosting.
Laura, what is that? I don’t think I’ve ever had one!
Pumpkin pie with cream on top! Of course, I love most desserts, however. Hard to pick a favorite! 🙂
A standing Thanksgiving tradition! We always have to have pumpkin pie 🙂
Any dessert made by the people I love….Holiday desserts are the absolute best!
They really are!!
Oh wow … that’s like asking someone to name their favorite child. Of the stuff that I make, it would be my chocolate fudge (I make a peanut butter one too) it melts in your mouth, but I love cherry pie, cheesecake, turtles … oh heck, it’s probably easier to name what I don’t like.
PECAN PIE! Hands down. It’s the only time of the year that I get to eat it & I love it! I once had a co-worker who always reads the nutrition labels & had never eaten pecan pie before get the box that it came in out of the trash so she could read the label. I screamed NO! & tried to fling my body over the box so she couldn’t read it but I was too late. Her eyes got huge & she just looked at me after she read it. I said, “You NEVER read the box for pecan pie. It’s nothing but pure sugar. You just eat it & enjoy it!”
What a great sounding recipe. Favorite dessert a toss up between pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Both are favorites in our house.
My moms homemade cheesecake. It is so good
My moms homemade cheesecake. It is the best.
Favorite dessert is anything I don’t have to bake. I don’t like to cook or bake. My husband loves cheesecake but rarely gets it. 🙁 I’ll have to try this recipe!
My favorite dessert is Dutch Apple pie and Lemon cake.
