I just made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! I was nervous about it being underdone from some of the comments so I cooked it the full 60 minutes and I think that ended up being a little too long for mine, but it was still delicious! I think the key with making sure it’s done all the way and not oily inside is letting it cool the full 30 minutes or more. I felt like mine was too oily when I first tested it with a knife, but it was fine after it cooled. Unbelievably delicious and easy to make. my family raved about it and are already begging me to make another one since that one was gone within the first 24 hours! We love it.

This recipes is very good and very versatile!!  Easy to prepare, these colorful cookies, crunchy outside and incredibly soft inside, are an unavoidable and very popular part of the Italian festive cuisine.

Made this and it was but found it way to sweet the first time I made. Second time I made it I cut the sugar back by 1/2 a cup and added more oats. Much better second time around. Easy peasy recipe.  I cooked it with the lid on my Crock-Pot and it was really soupy. Took the lid off and cooked it another couple of hours and it was perfect. Loved this!!

I’m a huge fan of Dutch apple pies. Love me some crumbles. Seriously. I made this bad boy about two weeks ago. I was out of walnuts and did not want to go to the store/madhouse. I rifled through my pantry and found some hazelnuts in there, so I decided to give em a try. They were super yummy on this pie. Needless to say, shortly after making it, there was nothing left. Keep coming up with new stuff. I will keep making it.  It was amazing! Mouth watering!! I also made them as individual pies in a bun tray and they worked very well too. ! I made this with pink lady and granny smith apples and used anjou pears as well. Fantastic recipe  It was delicious. I usually lattice my apple pies, but now that seems silly.

These candy cane cookies are so perfectly done and pretty! These are the best Christmas inspired cookies I have seen. These baked into a beautiful and lovely cookie.

Triple Berry Pie is my FAVORITE Thanksgiving Pie, and it's super easy to make with fresh or frozen raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas or any time you’re craving some pie. It has the perfect amount of liquid to yield a pie slice that holds its shape.

I just finished making these and they are by far one of the best cookies I have ever made....and I make a LOT of cookies!  I used regular semi-sweet chocolate chips (I didnt have any of the bittersweet) and I substituted hersheys special dark cocoa for the regular cocoa. I also found that if you let the dough rest on the counter for a half an hour or so, it thickens up and makes the cookies spread less and come out even better! I was able to get 3 dozen using a small cookie scoop. I will use this over and over I am sure! It’s everything we love about our dark chocolate walnut cookies. These babies are prime for dunking in a glass of ice-cold milk. The dough only takes 15 minutes to prepare, so these tasty little morsels are a perfect homemade treat when the clock’s ticking     Get the full recipe and instructions here >> Dark Chocolate Walnut Cookies @ everydaydishes.com

I love key lime and truffles, so these are my perfect sweet treat! Another great recipe! These Key Lime Truffles are delicious!! To create the green swirl on top of each truffle, I mixed green coloring oil into the white dipping chocolate, then used a squeeze bottle to create a swirl design. It really adds the perfect touch to each serving and makes a beautiful presentation on the plate. The cream center has the perfect key lime flavor. It’s smells wonderful as you make them and it blends beautifully with the white dipping chocolate creating one tasty bite     Get the full recipe and instructions here >> Key Lime Truffles @ writtenreality.com

These Gingerbread Truffles are not only super yummy but they look really cute too! These don’t require many ingredients and you may already have them at home. You could use semi sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate if you’d prefer but I really like them with white chocolate. These are great little treats in the winter months. Enjoy! Ingredients: 8 oz softened Cream Cheese 8 oz Ginger Snap Cookies 12 oz White Chocolate Chips Gingerbread Decorations   Get the full recipe and instructions here >> Gingerbread Truffles @ raininghotcoupons.com

I made caramel bars once and they vanished so quickly, they are sooo good! They came out perfectly on the second try. I wonder if I messed up some measurements the first time? Anyhow AMAZING RECIPE! Quick tip on flattening the dough at the bottom of the pan: After putting the dough at the bottom, cover it with parchment paper or saran wrap, then use another 9×13 pan to flatten it. They are so rich and buttery, complete with that soft and tender sugar cookie crumb and the golden, decadent caramel layer. If you can’t find salted caramel sauce, or just want to cut back on the salt, feel free to use a regular caramel sauce (or make your own caramel!) and sprinkle a little more sea salt on top. Salted Caramel Butter Bars are gooey, ultra buttery cookie bars loaded with rich salted caramel. So divine!  Get the full recipe and instructions here >> Salted Caramel Butter Bars @ thedomesticrebel.com

I am in the kinda mood now that these soft pretzel bites would be just perfect sitting by my side. I don’t think they would last very long. The cheddar cheese dipping sauce is a great idea. My kids would love to dip these.  I just made these to take to a potluck lunch and I’m afraid there aren’t going to be any left for me to take in a moment! They are addicting! I brushed them with butter and skipped the cheese sauce. After baking, I dipped half of them in a little bowl of melted butter then a bowl of sugar and cinnamon. YUM! The other half I will dip in honey mustard sauce.  I also made some for a friend for her 21st birthday, it was a nice variation from traditional birthday goodies like cake and cookies. Instead of plain coarse ground salt on top, I sprinkled them with coarse ground garlic salt- added a slightly different flavor,so tasty! This is a fantastic recipe. I tried it over the weekend and it turned out perfectly – with any recipe like this though, I am always careful to ma
