One of my hosts wants a Holiday Dessert at her party vs. a typical one. What suggestions do you have, and do you have pix and recipes to share?:D
 
I would say Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte. That's one of my most requested recipes right now.
 
I'm offering the Chocolate Mint Silk Torte or the Cherry Cordial Torte for Dec.
The Black Forest Trifle is also a good one for a holiday dessert.

Yep, that's where it's at!
 
The blushing cran-apple is yummy :) but I am doing the black forest trifle since the trifle bowl is on special :)
 
I did a class on making turtles- and the PC pretzel turtle recipe won the taste test hands down! Very easy, fast, and the tastiest of 3 other turtle recipes!
