Candied Pecans Recipe – For Snacks, Gifts & Salad Topping!

by
Candied Pecans

My mom is a pretty picky eater, but one thing that she absolutely loves is nuts! It is always a safe bet to give her nuts as a gift. I am honestly not a huge fan, but when she came to visit us this most recent time, I knew I should make her something special. I decided to make her some Candied Pecans because I know how much she loves them, and I also knew they would be great in my pantry until the next time she came to visit. This recipe is sweet, salty and flavorful and it is perfect for enjoying as a snack, adding on top of sweet potatoes or salads or even giving to your friends as a gift around the holidays.

Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes – Bite Sized & Delicious!

by
Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes

Cheesecake is such a great dessert, but sometimes is can be a real pain to make. For one thing, it takes a long time to bake a whole cheesecake. Another issue, for me anyways, is that traditional cheesecakes have a tendency to crack, so they don’t always have the best appearance. These Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes are fairly easy to assemble, they only require 18 minutes of baking time, and they are cool and ready to eat in less time that a whole cheesecake. These little personal sized desserts have a golden Oreo crust, a rich and creamy cheesecake center, an apple and crumb topping and they are finished off with a drizzle of caramel sauce. This is a great dessert for your holiday events!
