I am all about simplicity!!! So this isn't a very fancy recipe, but it's yummy!
Chocolate pretzel snaps-
A bag of square pretzel snaps
Unwrapped Hershey kisses
Bag of M&Ms
Heat oven to 200 degrees. On a cookie sheet, place unwrapped Hershey kiss on a pretzel snap. (As many as will fit!)
Place in oven and heat about 2 minutes, until the chocolate looks like it's melting a bit.
Take them out, and push one M&M on top of Hershey kiss so it squashes down a bit.
Let them cool, and enjoy!!!

I just made my pumpkin cheesecake bars last nite, the best EVER! I love them!!
Fabulous Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
1 (16 oz) pkg of pound cake mix (I like Betty, hers is the most moist)
2 TBSP butter, melted
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 (16 oz) can of pumpkin
1/2 tsp of salt
3 eggs
4 tsp pumpkin spice
1 (14 oz) can condensed milk (Not evaporated! Trust me on this...)
1 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine cake mix, 1 egg, butter, 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, until crumbly.
Press onto bottom of a 15"x10" pan and set aside
In a different large bowl (or the same, who am I to say?) beat cream cheese until it's fluffy. It will put up a fight, make sure you condition this arm well.
Gradually beat in condensed milk, then the 2 eggs, pumpkin, 2 tsp pumpkin spice, and salt. Mix it all well.
Pour over the crust, sprinkle the nuts on top.
Bake about 30 minutes (took me 50 the other day...just watch until they are set) or until they are set well.

The only time of year that I get to have stuffing is during the holidays. A couple years ago I tried a mushroom stuffing and have to say at this point it's my favorite.
beausdorei at gmail dot com
This is not sweets, but it's something I've made the past couple of years for holiday dinners.
Mushroom Stuffing
One and a half 1-pound loaves white bread, cut into cubes
1 1/2 bunches celery with leaves, coarsely chopped
3 sticks (12 ounces) unsalted
butter
1 1/2 onions, chopped
One 10-ounce package sliced white mushrooms
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons poultry seasoning
2 large eggs, beaten with 2 tablespoons water
Preheat the oven to 250°. Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake, tossing occasionally, until dried but not browned, about 40 minutes. Let cool. Increase the oven temperature to 350°.
Working in batches, pulse the celery in a food processor until chopped but not minced.
In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. Mix in the celery and mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Stir in the salt and poultry seasoning until thoroughly combined.
In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the beaten egg mixture. Add the vegetable mixture and toss until well combined.
Spoon the stuffing into 2 buttered 3-quart casserole dishes and bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes.

In a covered pot, steam beans over boiling water for 5-7 minutes. Rinse them in cold water and drain. Place beans in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add the garlic, dill, red pepper. (I couldn't find the seeds.)
Marinade as follows:

* Baking Spray

Whisk together water and cocoa mix in large bowl until smooth. Stir in peanut butter and corn syrup. Add 2 cups confectioners' sugar; blend. Stir in crushed vanilla wafers.
Spray large piece of waxed paper with baking spray. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of chocolate mixture onto paper; set aside. Place remaining confectioners' sugar in shallow dish. Roll each piece of chocolate mixture in sugar and roll into balls.
Chill before serving. Store in an airtight container.
