Candy Apple Pie

An autumn showstopper with apples, caramel, pecans, cheesecake and whipped cream layered in a graham cracker crust.

Mac and Cheese with Bacon

Take your mac-and-cheese uptown with bacon, Gruyere, Cheddar and blue cheese.

Cakey, chewy, chocolaty cookies studded with Whoppers malted milk balls.

A Southern summer favorite. If you’re feeling fancy, jazz them up with Buttermilk-Lime Dressing.

The ultimate comfort food – chicken and vegetables swaddled in a homemade sauce and cream cheese crust.

Sweet from the brown sugar, tangy from the sour cream, crunchy from the toasted pecans, these things are pretty addictive.

These chunky cookies are the perfect after-school snack.
