    Caramel Apple Pie. But I am not allowed to share that recipe. But that is my all time favorite!! My mom has a pumpkin pie recipe that is AWESOME. Even people who don't like pumpkin pie, like this pumpkin pie. I *think* the recipe is from Martha Stewart? I'll have to ask her.

    That and my mom's caramel pecan pie <3

    And you can't go wrong with cookies!

    Paula Deen's "Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding" recipe.  Delicious.

    My  MIL makes  a pretty awesome green bean casserole but I'd need to find the recipe.  She's given it to me like 2 times and I keep losing it.  Edited:  I just realized you asked for desserts :)

    I'm making red velvet cake balls.  This will be my first attempt at this, but gosssshhh I've been thinking about them for a month now!  The recipe is here:

    I've tried the cake balls, but they were too sweet for me with all that frosting mixed in. But then again, I'm the type to scrape the frosting off a slice of cake.

    I really like Pioneer Woman's Pumpkin Spice Muffins/Cupcakes. I love pretty much anything on her blog!

    Bananna.... aww gosh, really?   I thought since it is cream cheese frosting that it would be more rich than sweet.   Ah well, I guess I'll try it anyway.

    Try it! They are adorable, and lots of people like them. I think for me, it was the extra-sweetened cake with the chocolate that did it. But, my sister used to work at a bakery and they made cake balls without any frosting at all, the cake was moist enough to hold together. I think you should try them and let us all know how it goes.

    I have a really good sweet potato casserole recipe.  I think I've posted it here before.  It is soooo good, even if you don't like sweet potatoes.

    I feel so inadequate.  Last year, I made a regular cheesecake with a ginger snap crust.  It was delicious, don't get me wrong, but that pumpkin swirl cheesecake and pumpkin spice muffins sound amazing!

    OMG! All these sound amazing.....now what to choose! LOL

    Sometimes I hate to bring something because I always feel the pressure and if something goes wrong, blah blah. One year I messed up the apple pie I was trying to make, how? gosh I dont even know but it was gross and MESSED up! So I just went to the store and bought something, put it in my own dish and claimed that I made it! LOL Yeah thats right, I did! haha

    Here is the recipe
    60 oz can of sweet potatoes, drained (or 5 large
    sweet potatoes)
     2½ cups butter, melted (divided use)
    1 c sugar
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 c shredded coconut
    1 c packed brown sugar
    1 c pecans, chopped
     2 tablespoons flour
    Lightly rub a 9x13 in casserole dish with butter.
    Preheat oven to 300 F.
    In large mixing bowl, mash sweet potatoes.  Add 1½
    cups melted butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.  Beat
    until smooth.  Pour into prepared dish.
    In medium bowl, mix coconut, brown sugar,
    remaining melted butter, pecans and flour to make topping.
     Spread over sweet potatoes and bake for 20-30 minutes
    or until topping is brown.  Makes 12 servings.

    *******
     Note:  I have followed this recipe and everyone loves it.      However, to make it a little less sweet I have
     tried some variations--like only using ½ to 3/4 c of
    sugar in the sweet potatoes.  Also I only use 1 c of
    butter  in the potatoes and leave them a little chunky.
    Then  I double the topping recipe (but don't use quite
    all  of it).  Some of my family members actually like
    this  version better because it is still very sweet,
    just  more like potatoes and less like dessert!  Either
    way, everyone loves it!  Enjoy!

    Are they really rich? Almost like a truffle or more like the chocolate dipped oreos?

    They are really very rich. You can only eat one, if that. But they go over well with everyone!

    Jay made these awesome mini cheesecakes with a mini pb cup in them last week--I'll see if I can find the recipe. They were incredible
