Dessert Favorites ~ Show us your life

I am so excited! It's another week at Show us your life, hosted by Kelly. And this week she doing your favorite dessert! OH MY! Which one do I share? I'm having a hard time picking which one! But I am way excited, because last week, I found some awesome recipes and found a new family favorite! So go over and check out all the good recipes! And I will add, the recipe Kellly shared, is a favorite of ours! It's those yummy lil cake balls that I love to add to my holiday gift baskets! I do them with all sorts of combinations! You know the ones! :)

Well I couldn't share just one....... I tried and tried to pick one, but it didn't work. So here I am with a few of my favorites!

Peanut Brittle

1 c. peanuts
1 c. sugar
½ c. white corn syrup
1 tsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda

Stir peanuts, sugar, & syrup together. Microwave 8 minutes, after 4 minutes, stir and put back in. At the end, take out & stir in butter & vanilla. Microwave again for 1 minute. Remove and stir in baking soda. Pour out on to a buttered cookie sheet. Let cool, break up, and store in an air tight container.

I love this peanut brittle recipe! It is so awesome! And reminds me of my Grandmother, who would make it the old fashion way! But this is much simpler and you still get the same taste.


And to my next choice.....

This is such a wonderful dessert. It makes the perfect bring along to any Church dinner, a picnic, or any other get together! It is so easy too!

Brownie Delight

1 box of family size brownie mix (9 x 13 pan size package)
1 jar of caramel ice cream topping or 1/2 tub of marzetti caramel dip
1/2 - 1 cup chopped pecans
1 large box of chocolate instant pudding
1 tub of cool whip

Mix and bake brownies according to directions on the package. Let cool slightly. Spread caramel on top of the brownies. Sprinkle with nuts. Mix pudding with only half the milk it calls for. Spread this on top of the nuts. Spread cool whip on top of the pudding. Top off with grated chocolate candy bar curls.

Here's the link to one of my favorite recipes that I shared with yall before. It's Patty's Pecan Pie Bars. They are beyond awesome!

Hope yall enjoy!
