Something to take our minds off of all the IF business! :)

Tell me your favorite dessert for Thanksgiving - give me recipes if you've got 'em!  I need to make something to bring to my sisters next week.

    I made these last year and loved them. 

    Back home we only ever had 2 desserts at thanksgiving, my dads pumpkin pie and my aunts chocolate pudding pie (I think you can find the recipe on the Jell-o website). 
    I really got to figure out a paleo version of my aunts chocolate pudding pie.

    I'm always down for pumpkin pie. My mom makes a pumpkin and a chocolate pie every year that I love. 

    I did recently make Pumpkin Lasagna and it was delicious and it went over really well with my family.

    If I have time, I'm also going to make some caramels, cover them in chocolate, and sprinkle some fancy salts on top. My husband just got some Ghost Pepper salt, and I might go back to get the coffee and red wine salts.

    People make things other than pumpkin pie for dessert?!?!?! (No really, I had no idea?) I'm sure there are some Southerners in here (sorry, my Canadian is about to come out!) and you guys do sweet potato pie, right? I've always wanted to try it, but no idea how to make it! (Never seen it in a store or restaurant either.) Anybody have a recipe they want to share?
