Nothing regular here. Just kind of do whatever I'm craving at the time. I think this year I'm going to make that Million Dollar Cake. Might get online and do another cake I saw on The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Dulce De Leche but it wasn't the normal cake. This one was layers of chocolate cake and mousse topped with dulce de leche. Here's the cake from the show: Dulce De Leche

My 70th birthday party

It depends. If it's just the 3 of us I will just make 1 dessert along with the Christmas meal. However, I always have several parties to bake for and I always make pumpkin bread during the holidays and give it to family and friends and co-workers. I like to make the Reverse oreos for parties. So easy and quick. The recipe should be on this forum and also my pumpkin bread recipe should be on here.

Generally, I make pumpkin pies, a chocolate cream pie, a coconut cream pie and a lemon cream pie.  These are not all made at once,  mind you, just during the season and for special dinners between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I always make cookies.  Sugar cut outs w/buttercream frosting and date bars.  Fudge.. my favorite and biggest temptation.  Ummmm, it varies from year to year depending on how much money and time I have together.

Christmas morning we always eat the traditional sour cream coffee cake that my mom made for as long as I can remember. I will make lots of cookies. I give them as gifts. Tollhouse, oatmeal raisin, snowball kisses, cherry chocoate blossoms, spritz, shortbread and one or more new ones. I love to try new cookies. I make peppermint candies and chocolate covered pretzles. I also make chocolate candies that have nuts, raisins, marshmallows, dried fruit or other goodies in them.

  Those (reverse oreos) are on the top of my list this year Nina.  I gave them as gifts last year and everyone has already asked me if I would do them again!!  I also took them to several parties and they were a huge hit.  I like to bake Tollhouse, snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, peanut butter "things" (don't know the name of the recipe so that's what I call them!!) and belly-buttons (small pretzel with a hershey kiss and an M&M pressed on top).  Those are my standards and I try to make at least one or two new recipes each year.  The reverse oreos and belly buttons are two "experiments" that are now keepers.   yes

I acutally saw that recipe for the bellybuttons on allrecipes.com just today! They were called something else though.
I am definitely going to try the reverse oreos and may add some in our AP's gift (I got his name this year). 
OK here is a list of what I may or may not do depending on how much will power I have not to eat them.  I will make shortbread, sugar cookies with some crushed candy canes on top, some Chinese Chews (butterscotch and chocolate chips melted with chow mein noodles and peanuts mixed in), nanaimo bars, nut brittle, peanut butter balls dipped in white chocolate, peanut butter rice krispies, jam thumbprints and jam pots.  The jam pots are a secret family recipe.  Everyone loves them. I would like to make a few things with condensed milk or cream cheese too, but we will see, those are my downfall so I may skip them this year.

reverse oreos are a big hit smile I made some last year with the peppermint oreos- they were gone in seconds!

I made a dessert platter for my DD's drama club and we made "fake" cake pops. we bought Dunkin donut cake (not glazed) munchkins
melted dipping chocolate and put a lollipop stick into each munchkin. we then dipped them in the chocolate. let harden and you have a "Cake Pop"
we made rice crispy sushi smile just pressed out the rice crispy treat flat , put fruit roll ups on top, rolled the thing up and cut  rounds like sushi.. I added some Swedish fish on top and tied some with green fruit roll up to look like sushi.

I am not going all out this year.. too busy:) But we will make apple and blueberry pies, pumpkin fluff and my MIL makes to die for triple chocolate brownies  that I can't eat sad and she makes REAL tollhouse cookies with REAL butter - I call her Paula Deen when she makes them!)

DD wants to make the pretzels with kisses this year and we saw on the pillsbury site some cute turkey decorated sugar cookies
a fast easy candy is to melt almond bark and add crushed candy canes- spread in a sheet pan and then break up and bag..
DD and DS like to do gingerbread men too..

Oh that looks amazing! I don't know if I can make all these wonderful things! The last few recipes we tried, were very good, but to keep us from eating all the bounty, we took them to the VA. They loved them.
