Amazing Xmas Dessert recipe needed

What are you feeling? I recently made a killer pumpkin turtle pie and also Reece's Mini Cups Brownies. Both solid and fairly easy
 
My mom makes a yummy apple cake that I just asked for the recipe for if you're in to that.
 
Not sophisticated if that's what you're going for, but a great recipe for Christmas parties. Since there's no baking involved, the alcohol stays.

Serve them some balls...

Ingredients
• 1 Box Nilla wafers
• 6 oz Pecans
• 1 Cup + additional Powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp Powdered cocoa
• 3 Tbsp Light corn syrup
• 1/2 Cup Rum (or bourbon)
• Tbsp Vanilla

Directions
1. Pour the box of wafers into a food processor and grind them fine. Once done, pour into a big bowl.
2. Put the pecans in a food processor and grind fine. Once done, add to the big bowl.
3. Mix the cup of powdered sugar and the cocoa powder into the big bowl. Stir all dry ingredients well.
4. Add corn syrup, vanilla, and rum to the big bowl and mix well.
5. Roll into balls the size of walnuts or as desired. Place balls on a parchment lined baking sheet and put in fridge until the balls harden a bit (naturally).
6. Remove balls from the sheet and store in foil-lined box or other container. They will keep for several weeks.

--350 for 1 hour

Top with cream cheese icing or a glaze of 1 stick butter, 1c brown sugar, and 1/2c milk (combine and cook on stove for 2 1/2min). Pour over hot cake.


It's called an Apple Dapple cake, looks like googling brings up similar recipes.

It's not letting me post the photo, but this is really easy and really beautiful.

Yield: about 12-16 servings

For the cake:

12 tbsp. (6 oz.) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1½ cups granulated sugar
Zest and juice of 2 lemons, divided
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
3 large eggs
¾ cup buttermilk

For the glaze:

1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1½ tbsp. lemon juice


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Grease a bundt pan with butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bottom of the pan, then layer the cranberries over the sugar. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk to blend.

In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the granulated sugar with the zest from the lemons. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips until the sugar is infused with the lemon fragrance. Add the butter to the bowl with the lemon sugar and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

In a measuring cup, combine the buttermilk with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Spread the batter into the prepared pan over the cranberries.

Bake about 50-55 minutes or until golden brown on top and just set. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool about 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a serving platter, remove the pan and let cool completely.

Combine the confectioners’ sugar with 1½ tablespoons of the lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let set before slicing and serving.

not granny delicious? ;)
 
A coworker brought in "Oreo Truffles" last week and they were awesome. Here is the recipe he emailed out because everyone in the office was asking for it: "One 8oz pack of cream cheese softened, 3 cups of Oreo's crushed. Mix together and roll in balls, place on baking sheet with wax paper and place toothpick in the middle. Put them in the freezer until they are hard and then dip them in a package of dark melting chocolate from Michael's or AC Moore. Store in fridge until ready to serve."

they're delicious, but really rich.
 
Can you just use grocery store dark melting chocolate or do you have to get them from a weird craft store?
