This is an old Pampered Chef recipe and I love it. Super easy and yet comes out like a million dollars!
Pecan Tassies
Tart Shells-
½ cup butter, softened
1 (3oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup flour
Filling-
2 tblsp butter, melted
¾ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Cover. Chill at least one hour (or overnight). Preheat oven to 350. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls of dough into cups of ungreased mini-muffin pan. Press into dough to form a tart shell (use something round like the back of a wooden spoon). For filling, combine all ingredients. Mix well. Fill tart shells evenly with filling mixture. Bake 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when completely cool.

Festive Holiday Bark
This would have been better if I'd followed the directions... I forgot to mix it all up BEFORE pouring into the cookie sheet...
Festive Holiday Bark
16 oz. vanilla coating
2 cups small pretzels
½ cup red and green M&Ms
Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Melt candy coating. Add remaining ingredients. Toss to coat. Spread mixture thinly on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Let stand until set. Break into pieces.

Gingerbread Loaf
I made this last week and it came out FANTASTIC. We love it. It’s the first gingerbread I’ve done from scratch and I’m so happy with it. I got it from a magazine called Quick Cooking.
Gingerbread Loaf
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
5 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 ¼ tsp ground cloves
1 ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup maple syrup
2 tblsp vegetable oil
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, syrup and oil. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be thin). Pour into two greased 9x5 x3 inch loaf pans. Bake at 325 for 60-70 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 min. before removing to wire racks.
