Dessert, Pecan Recipes

Instead of a rich butter cookies, make some macaroon made of egg whites, coconut, pecans and chocolate. They are so chocolaty and delicious, a little bit crunchy at the inside and slightly chewy on the outside. Perfect sweet treats at holidays.

There are ground pecans in the shell, there are chopped pecans in the maple-brown sugar filling, and there are maple candied pecans arranged on top. The sweetness comes from both dark brown sugar and maple syrup, and there are some chopped dried cherries and rum added into the filling as well. A classic pecan pie is twisted with a modern way to make it more delicious and appealing, and everyone will give you a big "wow".

A lower carb twist on a Thanksgiving tradition. No crust! And a tasty pecan and candied ginger streusel topping.

Well, here's another recipe from my FB page. My thanks to Danielle at hugsandcookiesxoxo.com who adapted it from the "Barefoot Contessa" herself, Ina Garten. (BTW, the accompanying image is also from hugsandcookiesxoxo.com.)

This easy chocolate cake recipe has been handed down for generations!

A delicious variation on the traditional pound cake! As noted in the recipe, the main ingredient measurements are by weight NOT volume. You'll notice that they are all one pound each. THAT'S what makes a TRUE pound cake.

This recipe was created when I made a mistake in making it. It was originally suppose to a brownie type dessert, but I used a jelly roll pan and didn't use enough butter. The end result became a hit and is alway requested and raved about.
