from food network

peanut butter pie

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners? sugar
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
6 cups sweetened heavy cream, whipped until thick, in all
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts
4 ounces chocolate curls and shavings
2 cups chocolate sauce, slightly warm

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl combine the crumbs, butter and 1/4 cup of the peanut butter. Mix thoroughly. Press the mixture into a 9-inch spring-form pan. Bake until golden and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the remaining 3/4 cup peanut butter. Beat until smooth. Add the milk and roasted peanuts and beat well. Fold 4 cups of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture and spoon into the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and spoon the remaining whipped cream over the entire pie. Slice into individual servings. Garnish with the peanuts, chocolate shaving and chocolate sauce.

i've made it - it's incredible

classic pecan pie - really simple and reeeeeeeeeeally tasty

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup light or dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons margarine/butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1.25 cups pecans
1 (9-inch) unbaked/frozen deep dish pie crust

Preheat oven to 350

In medium bowl with fork beat eggs slightly. Add sugar, corn syrup, margarine and vanilly - stir until blended. Fold in pecans. Pour into pie crust.

Bake 50-55 minutes. Its delicious when the pecans and the filling have sort of carmelized at the top... oooh...

Cook something, beh. Dessert is about indulgence, not effort.

Lady fingers-line a bowl,
then mix a package of orange jello with a container of coolwhip..
alternate layers of the orange whip with vanilla pudding, lady fingers, crushed pineapple (drain it first), and mandarin oranges..cover top layer with more orange whip,and twisted orange slices...let chill over night before dishing out..yummmmy

Brownies are always welcomed i would say. And lemmon squares are fun if you have a blow torch you want to try out.

the only other real big winners i make are rice cripy treats that our dipped in chocolate and/or have a layer of peanut butter and butterscotch in the middle depending on your desire to die happy.

Also, depending on the holiday, i make sugar cookies with cutouts to match the holiday and then frost them with food coloring and arrange them to form a green x-mas tree with yellow stars, or a turkey, or an american flag depending on my holiday.

Good luck with your cooking.

p.s. I bake and cook for others, for myself, i get baskin robins

Ok I found the recipe.

Pumpkin Bars

Mix Until light and fluffy:

4 Eggs
12/3 C sugar
3/4 C oil
1 (15oz) can pumpkin

Add:

2 Cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Mix thoroughly the spread onto ungreased cookie sheet (or jelly roll pan).

Bake 350 for 25-30 minutes.

You can frost with a cream cheese frosting or you can make the caramel
type frosting by:

Melt together: 1 stick of oleo, 1/2 c brown sugar and 3-4 T milk .
Let cool slightly and add powdered sugar until you get the consistency you
want. I use the beater to do this and make it thicker than a glaze but not as thick as a regular cake frosting. If it seems to thick to you it can be thinned with a little more milk. Not thick enough add more powdered sugar.

Only reason they dont' like this one is cause you're using chocolate ice cream Try using Vanilla!
