Fudge is like THE Christmas time dessert for me. I think it is because my mom and grandma always made it in pretty much any variety you can imagine starting the day after Thanksgiving. There were always tins of it at my grandma’s house for us to enjoy during our visits.

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. If we are out to eat and cheesecake is on the menu, I’m probably going to order. I like to have my desserts in smaller sizes though and tend to go for things that are individually sized versus needing to be sliced. That was how my pumpkin cheesecake bites were born and also the though behind these peppermint chocolate chip cheesecake bites.

It is December which means sweets are everywhere! Every party you go to has an amazing dessert table. Heck, I even find candy canes randomly around my house and am left to wonder where they came from. I can only handle so much peppermint, gingerbread or cinnamon though.

Confession: “I am a Pinterest Junkie” – yep – I love it! I love all the unique ideas in one place!I love to be able to pin the idea on my make believe board and not have to save the information to my computer or print it until I’m ready to. I love being able to access Pinterest on my phone while I’m at the grocery store so I can pick up the ingredients for a new recipe I want to try. I love knowing there are other people in the world just like me. Those “strange” crafters who are OCD in their organization. I know I have pinned more ideas than I can use in two lifetimes! However, the ideas are there at my fingertips when I am ready!
Today I am sharing one of my new favorite snacks and menu items for parties: stuffed strawberries.

I’m a sucker for an individual sized dessert. Make it layered and pretty and serve it in a small dish and I am all in. That is the idea behind my layered eggnog and pumpkin mousse cups. I wanted something that could easily be served individually but also looked pretty. Of course, tasting good was a must too.

As you are preparing for Thanksgiving, I’m sure you throwing around ideas of what to have for dessert and the standard apple pie or pumpkin pie comes to mind. We’ve even been known to do a little early Christmas baking and have cookies for our Thanksgiving dessert. How about breaking from the norm a little bit and doing pumpkin cheesecake bites instead? They are single serving making them easy for a dessert table and on your waistline on a day full of eating.
