1. Chocolate Dipped Pears With Almond Crunch
Talk about elegant and simple. These chocolate dipped pears are super easy to make — we’re talking about a 10-minute thing at the most. They’re delicious, look great on the table, and they require nothing more than 3 ingredients:

- Melted dark chocolate
- Chopped salted almonds
2. Classic New York Cheesecake
A delicious classic cheesecake recipe with a trademark difference to stand out above the rest — an extra amount of sour cream. This one requires quite a bit of preparation and time, so you’d better check the recipe right now and get what you need.
When baking the cheesecake, be sure to check if the middle is solid before taking it out.
3. Dark Chocolate-Pecan Toffee
An easy and yummy addition to your dessert table — you can do all this in less than two hours and everyone will definitely love it. I mean, how could you not? We’re talking pecan halves and dark chocolate here.

4. Praline-Iced Brownies

5. Easy Pumpkin Pie
Because obvious choice is obviously obvious.
We’ve even talked about the scientific reasons why we love pumpkin pie spice not that long ago, and what would a Thanksgiving recipe list be without pumpkin pie? Especially this one since it’s so simple it only requires a handful of ingredients. Learn the whole thing here!
6. Mini-caramel apples
Once again, just a handful of ingredients to create these lovely caramel apple pops. Just be sure to make, like, a lot.

- 1 box of instant white chocolate pudding
- 2 cups of whole milk
