Pecan Pie

December 11, 2019 by Anna 6 Comments

This Pecan Pie is one of the easiest pies you can make. The caramel pecan filling is truly decadent!

Serve this classic pie for your holiday desserts, along with my No-Bake Pumpkin Pie or my Perfect Cheesecake.

PECAN PIE

One of the classic desserts for the holidays has to be this one. It’s rich and decadent. I love pecan and I always use halves. You can chop the nuts roughly before stirring with the filling mixture. Since I don’t make pies often, I have yet to master my pie crust recipe. For a shortcut, I use a store-bought ready crust or frozen crust that just needs to be blind baked before assembling the pie. This pie is truly easy to make and bound to wow your family and guests this holiday season!

The Best Muddy Buddies

December 9, 2019 by Anna 3 Comments

These Muddy Buddies, aka Puppy Chow, are a classic holiday treat everyone loves! No butter or peanut butter needed!

This Christmas snack is quick and easy to make, just like the Rolo Pretzel Bites and Christmas M&M Cookies.

MUDDY BUDDIES

Whether you call it Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow, this chocolate cereal is a must for the holidays. My recipe does not use butter or peanut butter and makes perfect little bites. Melting chocolate with oil prevents it from clumping and makes it perfectly smooth. It will fill the cereal and prevent them from sticking together while coating with powdered sugar. This might not be the classic way to make this snack, but it is my favorite. It works every time!

Christmas Punch

December 6, 2019 by Anna 4 Comments

This Christmas Punch is a great holiday drink for the whole family! This non-alcoholic punch is made with cranberry juice, orange juice, sparkling water, fresh cranberries and orange slices.

Another great party drink is my Orange Creamsicle Mimosa but if you want something creamy, try my Homemade Mocha Frappuccino.

CHRISTMAS PUNCH

If you are expecting guests for the holidays and need a crowd-pleasing drink, this Christmas Punch is perfect! It’s a non-alcoholic beverage that everyone can enjoy. Make a smaller batch for your family to serve during Christmas dinner. It’s pretty and delicious!
