  Chocolate peanut butter pie (super easy, no bake).
  
  

   Mix:      1 stick softened butter (1/2 cup)
  

               1/2 cup peanut butter
  

               1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 
  

  
  

   Remove about 1/4 - 1/3 of cool whip from the 8 oz container and set aside.
  
  

  Mix remaining cool whip with sugar/butter mixture.
  

  Dump into pie crust.  Use a store bought graham cracker or Oreo crust or make your own by pressing brownies into a pie pan.
  

  Add set aside cool whip in dollops onto mixture.
  
  

  Chocolate drizzle - 1/4 c choc chips, a little salt, about 1 tsp butter, a little milk (? 2 tsp) microwave for 12 seconds or so and stir.  Microwave again for a few seconds until chips are completely melted.
  
  

  Make dents with a spoon in white dollops, fill the dents with melted chocolate.  Take a butter knife and swirl the chocolate around.

  Fluffy Pumpkin Pie Dip (my in-laws loved this!)
  
  Ingredients
  
  1 8oz. package of cream cheese, softened
  1 cup powdered sugar
  1 15 oz can of pumpkin
  2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or make your own... we just use premade mix)
  2 cups cool whip
  
  

  Instructions

  1. Mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar,
  2. Add in pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice
  3. Fold in cool whip.
  4. Serve with ginger snaps, graham crackers or apple slices - we have done all of these and I prefer apples, husband prefers graham cracker dippers, and FIL liked ginger snaps. It's really good with all 3 options!

  Super easy! It took me maybe 5 minutes to make this and it was a huge hit. Also the day after we ate it, I went into labor, so there's that

  I have a small family, so you may need to double the recipe depending on how much you want to end up with. This is literally the easiest potato recipe ever, and I absolutely love it on a thanksgiving plate with all kinds of gravy and dressings to compliment. 
  
  Rosemary Roasted Potatoes 
  
  2 T extra virgin olive oil
  3 cloves minced garlic
  1/2 t sea salt
  2 T fresh rosemary, minced 
  pepper to taste
  2 lb red potatoes, quartered
  
  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. Put everything in a bowl. Toss making sure potatoes are well-coated.
  3. Dump on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet. Spread out so they only make a layer.
  4. Roast in oven for at least an hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice while cooking to ensure even browning.
