Settling These Holiday Dessert Debates

There are desserts and there are holiday desserts. To me, holiday desserts have a little bit more love & joy in them. It is the time of the year where we tend to exhibit those two particular ingredients more in our lives. Maybe they rub off into the mixing bowls somehow.

For this post, I asked my followers what was their favorite desserts to have during the holidays. There was a tie. Apple Pie & Pecan Pie were mentioned the most. Pecan is a Texas favorite. We have a pecan tree in our backyard.

I have picked & shelled my fair share of it's prized ingredient over the years. Americans love their Apple pie. I can always tell when my grandmother wants me to make one. She will peel the apples with her 90+-year-old hands and have them in the refrigerator waiting for me. LoL Thank you to my followers who answered the question. Y'all are such sweeties.

And in no particular order, here are My Top 10 favorite holiday desserts

Ginger Breadmen - I love the smell of those little guys. They are probably one of the most iconic dessert symbols of the holidays. I don't think I ever see these eaten any other time of the year.

Sweet Potato Pie - Until I ever eat a piece of pumpkin pie, you will never know me to not pick this pie. It is a very simple pie to make. Add a little spray of whipped cream...Deliciousness!

Baklava - My grandmother ordered this one Christmas out of sheer curiosity. It was a hit with a few family members, including myself.

It is a very rich dessert. And there is nothing like eating it layer by layer, in order to savor the goodness.

Ooey Gooey Bars - In desserts named correctly, this one is one of them. It is ooey & gooey. Thank you St. Louis for sharing this gem.

Mexican Wedding Cookies - My youngest aunt won't make them anymore. I tried, but fail to make them light enough. So in the rare times, I see them in the store days after Thanksgiving, I buy two packs. Also known as

-Italian Nut Balls

-Russian Tea Cakes

-Polvorones

-Viennese Sugar Ball

-Snowdrops

they are buttery with a nutty hint in flavor. Maybe, my aunt, blog name Stump will surprisingly bless us with these one day, again. I'll let you guys know if she does.

Rum Cake - As a child, my grandparents were buddies a lady who owned a funeral home who brought us rum cake every year until she died for the holidays. It always came in a can. I think you could get drunk just by taking the top off. Whenever I take a bite of a potent piece of rum cake, that is a memory that comes to mind.

Holiday Fudge - I remember the show, Eve and the running jokes was how no one liked Shelly's holiday fudge. Either you like fudge or you don't. I do!

Ambrosia - The best salad ever. Stop staring at that sentence like that. It's a Fruit Salad. Traditionally, it has coconut in it. But y'all know I'm not the traditional type.

German Chocolate Cake - The only way I like chocolate cake & coconut. Chocolate cake is bitter to me. Coconut is too sweet to my tongue. Put them together and I like this dessert.

Mixed Berry Cobbler - Juicy & tart berries under a nice crust...What is there not to like! It's pie with no bottom crust. Why mixed berry? Because I tend to make apple randomly during "Baking Season". I only make mixed berry for the New Year.

Now, get in the comments on here or the social media site you see this on and let me know what are your favorite holiday desserts.

Remember this season is about love & joy. They make our hearts feel better. And who doesn't want to feel that?
