ReplyDeleteChocolate pretzel snaps-
A bag of square pretzel snaps

I just made my pumpkin cheesecake bars last nite, the best EVER! I love them!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
ReplyDeleteIngredients:
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.

ReplyDeletebeausdorei at gmail dot com
This is not sweets, but it's something I've made the past couple of years for holiday dinners.
ReplyDeleteMushroom 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.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
Lay a sheet of waxed paper on counter and sprinkle it with confectioner's sugar, and turn the cake onto the prep paper. Carefully roll the paper up (lengthwise) with the cake in it. Place the cake on a cooling rack and let it cool for 20 minutes.
Make the icing: In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and sugar with a wooden spoon or electric mixer.
When the cake has cooled 20 minutes, unroll it and spread icing onto it. Immediately re-roll and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut the cake in slices just before serving.
