Holidays are near - What's your favorite family dessert that satisfies your sweet t tooth?

Question

I love those Peanut Butter cookies that you press a Hershey kiss into and eat warm. We also do one where you take a graham cracker crust ( pie or baking dish ) and put in a inch or two layer of choc. morsels, another layer of butterscotch morsels and then top with coconut flakes, pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over the whole thing ( to bind ) and bake maybe 30 min's. @ 350 til the coconut starts to brown. My Grandma called them wall to wall calories. Man was she ever smart. If you make them , they harden a little too much for me the next day, so microwave them just a tad and ,OH MAN !!!!

I made a mistake by not requesting recipes - we are salaviating here with no way to quench it. Devil dogs sound good. All the greek and ethnic desserts are right up my alley..........

Peaches is in my contact list and I can't contact - what's up with that.......We want the recipe Peaches !!!!

Answer 3

Ya... that sounds yummy! I'll add that little recipe to my collection. I have a huge collection of holiday recipes and have begun my holiday baking already. Today was cookie day with 8 dozen sugar cookies cut out and baked and frozen. Plus I am currently working on a cheesecake. I love to bake and the holidays make it wonderful.

Answer 4

Baked Alaska, slice Swiss roll with the jam in it and layer using ice cream, after a couple of layers you top with the whipped egg white n sugar mix (to make meringue) and put in a hot oven until the meringue is done to your liking (best when the tips are just going caramel coloured - I think)

Very tasty and very sweet!

My family do a traditional "log" cake but instead of choc they use home made pranile butter cream and a hazelnut sponge. Also other traditional hungarian sweets like beigli, and kipfli are absolutely necessary!
