When you can’t decide if you want to make a Pumpkin Pie or a Pecan Pie, how about combining the two? AND adding dark chocolate just takes it to another level.

Layers of:
  • CHOCOLATE

  • PUMPKIN

  • PECAN

Growing up my mother never made pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving or Christmas.  But pecan pie did show up often for the holidays.  Then once Paul and I married, I quickly learned that his family all like pumpkin pie.  So, I’ve made both pecan and pumpkin pies over the years.

This sugar free dessert taste so good, you won’t realize you are eating a
sugar free dessert.

We had family visit a few days ago and this dessert was easy to put together before they got here.  It keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days.

My step-father is diabetic and has always stuck to his diet since he was diagnosed years ago.  So when he visits I always try and have a sugar free dessert for him to indulge in.  Since this recipe doesn’t taste like you are eating a sugar free dessert, this is the only dessert I made.  My great nephew and niece were here also and this is definitely a kid-friendly dessert as well.  We all enjoyed it!

Reinventing the Famous Barcardi Rum Cake…
WITH CHOCOLATE!

This recipe uses a chocolate cake mix which makes it a quick and easy Bundt cake.  You will have this dessert ready and in the oven in no time.  Adding in a few extra ingredients like Dark Rum and chocolate chips take a plain boxed cake mix to another level.  The box of pudding adds a rich and moist taste and texture.

This cake would be great for Christmas or Thanksgiving (PIN for later)…or just any day when you are craving CHOCOLATE.  I’ve noticed most of my dessert recipes I’ve added so far have some form of chocolate:

Chocolate Bourbon Cake,
Blueberry, Dark Chocolate Muffins with a Crumble Topping
Chocolate Cayenne Banana Bread
Chocolate Glazed Chocolate Tart

We Love our Chocolate!

This is one of the quickest desserts you can make.  AND, it’s delicious.  It’s perfect for the summer – you don’t have to heat your oven.

NO-BAKE dessert!

Layer sliced strawberries, graham crackers, lite cool whip and drizzle the top with chocolate syrup. Mmmm!

Grab a 13 x 9 glass or plastic cake pan.  Something preferably with a lid.  So you can save the leftovers and put it in the refrigerator for later.  This dessert is just as good the next day as the day you make it.  The graham crackers do get a little softer and it will have a different texture, but it still holds up better than you would imagine.
