Just made this last night and followed the directions without any problems. I have to say its gotta be one of my top 5 best baking desserts I’ve ever made. Tasted like I bought it from some gourmet bake shop! It’s a brilliant recipe! :) Recipe >> Brownie Butter Cake @ rasamalaysia.com

These turned out delicious! I added the 1/2 tsp. of baking soda in addition to the 2 tsp. of baking powder called for in the recipe. Plus, I was all out of regular milk, so I substituted half-and-half. Turned out wonderfully! I will definitely make again. It also appears that 3/4 cup of pumpkin is about half of a regular can of pumpkin. So I froze the rest of it for the next time I make these. Recipe >> Pumpkin Poppers @ hwescott.blogspot.com

I've made this two weekends in a row and my friends/family can't get enough of it! I decided to split it into 3 medium sized loaf pans, and did 3 layers of the cinnamon/sugar mixture instead of 2 (so batter, c/s, batter, c/s, batter, c/s). Also used 1/3c brown sugar and 1/3c white sugar. I froze two loaves to save for "later", but people loved it so much I froze it on Saturday and had to thaw it on Wednesday because it was so popular! This bread was so tasty and moist.. Everyone loved it :) It will be treasured for many years to come. Recipe >> The Amazing Amish Cinnamon Bread @ redflycreations.com

I baked these yesterday! They are truly delicious!! I only buttered and sugared 6 in hopes of keeping myself from eating all 24! Today I rolled some in warm butter, then the sugar/cinnamon they were are as good as yesterday!! I stored them in a baggie!! They will become a permanent part of my fall treats!! Recipe >> Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes @ seededatthetable.com

I have made these and they are DELICIOUS!!!!! Love, love them. I have tried them with not only vanilla cake mix but strawberry, chocolate, lemon and mixed in chocolate chips, dried fruit, m & ms. Very versatile and always delicious! Recipe >> Gooey Butter Cookies @ lilluna.com

These were amazing! I am very picky, always looking for the BEST recipe for something. I have made good pecan pies before, but these bars are so, so good that this will be my go-to recipe for pecan pie from now on. They do taste a little like a 7 layer cookie bar. I used white whole wheat flour in the crust and only had 2 cups of pecans so I added 1 cup walnuts as well…totally yummy. I find the crust on the not too sweet dry side is the perfect compliment for the sticky sweet ooey gooey topping. Recipe >> German Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars @ bakeorbreak.com

Are you looking for the perfect fall dessert to impress guests or wow your family? I found a tried and true Pinterest winner with this Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake recipe! This is one amazing cake! All of my favorite things about fall wrapped in one! I was asked to bring a dessert to a cook out at a friends house this past weekend. I wanted to make something to welcome in fall, but didn’t really want the same old pumpkin dessert recipes. While searching Pinterest, I kept seeing the same pin for this cheesecake and took it as a sign that I should give it a try. I am so glad that I did! The directions, although time consuming, are so worth it for the delicious end result. My friends could not get enough, they all raved about it. It was the perfect blend of caramel, apple and spices, a real taste of fall! One thing I learned from this recipe, which called for a “springform pan” is to use one if you have one. I did not have one, so I used a regular round baking pan. The springform pan ...

Yum! These pumpkin bars are really magic! Because whenever white chocolate is combined with toffee bits, pecans, condensed milk and pumpkin – it all become magic! Best ever pumpkin magic bars or magic bar rendition that I’ve seen with pumpkin! Recipe >> Pumpkin Magic Bars @ crazyforcrust.com

I made this last week exactly as outlined in the recipe and it was delicious! Can’t wait to make it again. This will be a fall staple for sure.. Recipe >> Apple Crisp @ afamilyfeast.com

I LOVED the texture of this cake. The flavor, however, was a bit bland. We added cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice the second time (to the dry mix) when we made it and it made a world of difference. Also, we tried the cake with some store-bought icing (Pillsbury cream cheese, and mixed in pumpkin pie spice to it as well) and it turned out more like a “Cake.” If you’re going to try the icing, we suggest warming it up a little before you eat it, as we all found it a dish best served warm. So yummy! Recipe >> Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Cake with Apple Cider Glaze @ Noblepig.com

I’ve made these brownies for years (minus the nuts) and always in a 9×13 pan rather than square. The brownie layers are thinner in the larger size pan, but then these brownies are super sweet and delicious so a little bit goes a long way! For the top layer I take small balls of dough and flatten them between my hands, then lay them on top of the caramel/choc chip layer and continue until the top is covered. It doesn’t matter if there are ‘holes’ between the dough, it will bake together. The recipe I have calls for 1 c. of choc chips–but that’s for the larger size pan :) This is one of my kids favorites! I’ve never dusted them with powdered sugar–but think I will try that too. Recipe >> Knock You N***d Brownies @ Thepioneerwoman.com

Oh my goodness! I made this tonight and it was spectacular!! The only suggestion I have is to make it in a 9×13 pan instead of the 8×8. I followed the directions exactly and it was overflowing in the pan. The pumpkin pudding is definitely a great idea to use :) Recipe >> Layered Pumpkin Dessert @ lilluna.com

I have made this recipe many times now and after tweaking with ingredients, I think I finally found perfection! I found that I had to increase/decrease some ingredients: I cut the sugar by 1/2C, increased the Poppyseeds to a 1/4C and I used 1/2C of real lemon Juice instead of the extracts as it has more flavour. I also put the rind of a lemon into the batter.(I also always mix my ingredients by wet then mix dry into it) I baked mine in a bundt pan for 1 hour & 10 min. It baked beautifully and turned a nice golden colour! Instead of the glaze I sifted Icing sugar on top. It was very pretty and tasted nice too. Recipe >>  Lemon Poppy Seed Bread @ cookingclassy.com

When I was little, I loved it when my Mom made treats.  We would always stand around the kitchen counter and wait until she was done mixing so we could lick the batter out of the bowl or from the beaters.  Now that I have my own kids, I find them doing the same thing with this yummy treat!  I will tell you... they licked their beaters and spoons clean!  This dessert turned out delicious!!!! Fluffy Cream Cheese Dessert Ingredients: For the Crust: 2 1/2 cups of crushed vanilla wafers 1/2 cup unsalted butter For the Layers: 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened 8 ounces of Cool Whip 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well Directions: Melt butter in the microwave and allow to cool. Combine the cookie crumbs and butter and toss together until incorporated. Press 2 cups of the crumb mixture firmly into an 9×9 square pan. Beat the cream cheese and butter together until very creamy. Turn the mixer down to ...

Just made this for my sons bday...its pretty amazing. Even though two of my pans were old and the cake stuck to it and fell completly apart I managed to squish it together lol...turned out beautiful after I frosted it :) the icing was very good! Going to buy two new pans and make again during the holidays :) definitely will be making again and I took the advice of making the filling the night before worked out great! Recipe >> Pecan Pie Cake @ Jo and Sue

I made this yesterday for my husband and myself. We have been eating Paleo. Oh my gosh what a wonderful treat, The cake is so moist, turned out great layers, amazed me. I did not make the frosting because did not have pudding or whip topping but we love it the way it is, plan to make for Thanksgivng for the grands, they do not like the pie crust, I will add the topping but even without it,, this is a 5 star recipe. :) Recipe >> Pumpkin Magic Cake @ Iwashyoudry.com

I love how this is just like a coffee cake texture but without cinnamon or brown sugar. I’d describe it as a sour cream coffee cake with a cream cheese filling and it’s crumbly and the top is crunchy and perfect. I used 3 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons of cake flour and followed the recipe. (I did use AP flour for the topping) It’s not too sweet (like coffee cake) but it’s still perfect. I used my Pyrex baking dish so I baked it on 350 for the first 20 mins, then I rotated it and turned it down to 325 for the next 22 mins so to not over cook it. Came out perfect and I had to stop myself from eating any more!!! Recipe >> Cream Cheese Coffee Cake @ justbakedbyme.wordpress.com

One of the easiest cakes ever! Add some carmel pieces to the cake along with some craisins. Top with a can of Dolce De Leche mixed with just enough coconut to make it spreadable and thick then broil it. .. brings back memories! I have also had this with a cream cheese icing. My favorite recipe for that is simple-a can of Buttercream icing and a box of cream cheese. Dont broil this one though! If you are having doubts just try the basic recipe. You won’t regret it! Recipe >> Oatmeal Cake @ Tasteandtellblog.com

I love this recipe! Instead of leaving them with just the powdered sugar, I like to enrobe my truffles in white chocolate. It takes a bit longer, but it’s worth it. Recipe >> White Chocolate Lemon Truffles @ Omgchocolatedesserts.com

Excellent recipe. The first time I made it, I allowed it to get to dark and it taste burnt. 5 minutes was too long for me on high heat. It only took my stove top about 3-4 minutes on high heat for it to turn a beautiful almond color. Very crispy. I really, really am happy with this recipe. It didn’t make as much as I though it would so I doubled it. :) Recipe >> English Toffee Bites @ Shugarysweets.com

I made these yesterday. My daughter suggested they would be even better with pretzels in them - like a Take 5 bar. So I stuck pretzels to the bottom, and she was right! I'm putting these in my gift boxes with my fudge and truffles Recipe >> Billion Dollar Candy Bar @ twirlandtaste.com

I made this today for my sister’s birthday. I consider myself a pretty good baker and my batter was very thick. Since I only had all-purpose flour I followed a recipe I found for substituting that for cake flour. I omitted 2 tablespoons per cup and replaced it with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. I then sifted the flour five times. My cake didn’t rise as much as a cake batter should but the little I tasted wasn’t as dense as banana bread. I’m thinking either the cornstarch was a bad idea (even though the recipe swears by it) or I mixed the batter to much. Or both. Hoping it’s not a total flop tonight for dessert.

These were DIVINE. I have to say, you can definitely taste the coffee. However, I liked that a lot! I used dark chocolate cocoa powder and it really kicked these brownies up a notch. So much chocolate, but they were SO good and rich. We warmed them up and served w/ vanilla ice cream and they were so decadent! Recipe >> Nutella Brownies @ bunsinmyoven.com

I make these all the time. I also put into the dough 3 red hot candies (for each one) Serve with ice cream. People groan while they eat it!! I will make these again! Might add some chocolate, you can add all sorts of things like carmel too! Recipe >> Easy Apple Dumplings @ Omgchocolatedesserts.com

Chocolate Caramel and Pecan Turtle Clusters Ingredients:     2 1/2 C pecans     1/2 C butter (I use salted)     1 C brown sugar     1/2 C light corn syrup     7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1/2 of a 14 ounce can)     1/2 t vanilla     1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate chips     1/2 t shortening (I use butter flavored Crisco) Instructions: Read More >> Chocolate Caramel and Pecan Turtle Clusters @ Jamiecooksitup.net

Very good recipe- mine came out slightly more cake-like and less dense-looking than the pics, but still very flavorful and not dry. Was a hit at the family gathering! Recipe >> Chocolate Pumpkin Marble Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze @ backtothecuttingboard.com

This cake turned out perfectly! It was such a hit! I used the white cake recipe and then used a box brownie mix. I put a layer of Nutella on top of the brownie instead of the chocolate sauce. I’ll definitely be making this cake again for birthdays to come! Recipe >> Vintage Cake @ kitchenmeetsgirl.com

These look incredible! Totally worth breaking the diet for! I saw this recipe, I knew my family would love them and I had everything on hand… Super easy to whip up…. I subbed out all purpose flour for GF flour and they enjoyed a delicious dessert! Recipe >> Marshmallow Blondies @ Cookiesandcups.com

What a delicious recipe! never had banana brownies before, definitely missing out on something seriously tasty. love it! Recipe >> Banana Brownies @ backforsecondsblog.com

I made these for Easter…they were the most delectable thing I have eaten! They are so delicious! I made another batch for work and my husband begged for a batch for home too. He also asked me to make them for his work potluck. The ginger snap crust is so yummy it goes perfect with the key lime. This is a new favorite! Recipe >> Key Lime Pie Squares @ Sallysbakingaddiction.com

This is a great idea but when I saw the amount of butter and sugar, I decided to adjust the recipe and it was wonderful. For the first part, used 1/2 cup of sugar. For the 2nd part, I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter. For the glaze, I used 1 cup powdered sugar, a few drops vanilla and added liquid till the consistency I wanted. This saved calories and money too. And it was delicious. Too much sugar makes be sick to my stomach, but this was just right. Recipe >> Cinnamon Roll Cake @ crunchycreamysweet.com

As soon as I saw the picture of this cake, I fell in love!! Looks SO good!! As much as I love pecans, I’ve been dreaming about making a peppermint cream cake, so I adapted this recipe and did just that! :) I cut the recipe in half, and then I added crushed candy canes to both the batter and the frosting…skipping the nuts. I was in total heaven eating a slice last night and can hardly wait for dessert this evening! :) Recipe >> Italian Cream Cake @ bakeorbreak.com

These look sooo good! And so easy and manageable with what I’ve got in the pantry. Definitely making this tomorrow.. Recipe >> Good Morning Crumb Cake @ Lecremedelacrumb.com

I just made this today! So good! Very rich. Next time I make it I might use half milk chocolate and half semisweet for the ganache. But the filling is pretty spot on even though it seemed like an odd concept. It was almost too buttery (if that’s even possible) so next time I’ll try half butter half shortening. All in all an awesome recipe and an impressive looking cake! Recipe >> Ding Dong Cake @ Chocolatechocolateandmore.com

It was yummy! Especially if you like cherry and almond extract. This cake is very good. And if you take your time and execute it properly, there is no reason it shouldn’t come out tasting even better than mine did. Even with all the over-baking and extensive folding of the batter, the interior texture of the cake was still nice and soft and fluffy,, Recipe >> Cherry Layer Cake @ Laurassweetspot.com

This is a lemon icebox pie just like Grandma used to make. The filling freezes to a silky, luscious, creamy texture with plenty of lemony tart flavor. The ideal make ahead dessert for Sunday dinner or a summer BBQ   Recipe >> Old Fashioned Lemon Icebox Pie @ RockRecipes.com

I took these to a cookout along with another cookie, and these were, by far, the more popular cookie! I love that they stay puffy and soft. The addition of the pb chips is nice too. The recipe I used to use for Monster Cookies had more of an oatmeal consistency, so if you're used to that, just know these are more dough than oats. You can hardly notice the oatmeal. (Might try adding more the next time to see what happens.) Recipe >> Soft Monster Cookies @ Mrs.Schwartz's Kitchen

Trust me, you want the recipe for this mousse! It’s super simple and would be a perfect dessert for Mother’s Day. There’s no baking involved, so with a little help, it’s something even kids could make. We enjoyed ours with fresh berries, but it’s completely delicious on its own. It would also make a great filling for a layer cake. Recipe >> Lemon Cheesecake Mousse @ letsdishrecipes.com

This icing is great! Made some tonight for cupcakes I’m taking to a party tomorrow. Was skeptical at first because not all recipes I’ve come across on pinterest have worked out well(I found this site from pinterest) but this is very delicious. So good in fact that I raked the bowl clean after icing the cupcakes and stored the itty bitty leftovers in a container…dunno what I will do with it, but it was just too good to waste even if it was only a tablespoon or so left. Recipe >> Cookie Dough Frosting @ the-girl-who-ate-everything.com

It’s soooooo much better with only 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of corn syrup and 1/2 cup of peanut butter! Cutting the saucy part in half keeps it from getting too thick which balances the sweet/salty factor and helps the chips to stay crispy! Recipe >> Kookie Cookies @ skiptomylou.org
