No holiday desserts, please. I keep Christ in my Christmas.

Chocolate mousse!!!

DH just discovered that he likes German chocolate cake so I am making one from scratch. We've been together for 10 years and he has always sworn that he hates it. He tried one the other day that was from scratch and was in love. Duh, DH, what could be bad about toasted coconut, butter and sugar?

I might be your DH. I swear I hate it too, but I'm also not positive I've ever had it.

Everyone wants pumpkin pie and I'm not thrilled. I wanted something different.

Pumpkin cheesecake?

Good idea. Everyone wins!

I am going to try potato chip cookies. I tasted one the other day and they were REALLY good. Since we aren't hosting, I tend to bring an allergy safe dessert for Reese. Usually I bake gingerbread cookies but this year I have NO motivation to do anything to bake.

OMG yum!

We have always had trifle. I can't remember a Christmas without one.

I'm making one, too: Whiskey-Soaked Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake

That looks fantastic. Have you tried it?

I think a trifle is a good idea! My dad will like that, plus it will allow me to use my trifle bowl twice this year.

Although cookie butter cheesecake sounds divine.

I'm being lazy and making Heath cookie bars from a mix.

OMG that whiskey bundt cake recipe.

Lazy Daisy cake. It's H's favorite and his birthday is on Monday, so I'm making it for Christmas dinner since I won't have time before then.

I'm making a cranberry cheesecake and my mom is bringing an apple-pear crostata

Gosh all of these sound so good! We do martini glasses with fudge brownie, homemade peppermint ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Plus cookies, fudges, and other candies. Champagne, limoncello, etc

I am officially making mousse AND whiskey bundt cake. I can't even with that recipe.

Orange sponge cake, pour rum over the top, cover with chocolate glaze.
