Today, Iโ€™m sharing Everyoneโ€™s Favorite Thanksgiving Desserts to help you find the perfect sweet ending for your holiday meal. This yearโ€™s list has everything from our Brown Sugar Cookie Pie and Frosted Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Blondies to the Molten Chocolate Crackle Pie and last yearโ€™s Maple Pecan Pie . If youโ€™re searching for something extra delicious to bake this season, youโ€™ll definitely find it hereโ€”and maybe even discover a new favorite.

Itโ€™s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving! Iโ€™m so excited. It feels so good to be home with family. The weather is chilly and cozy, just right for cooking, baking, and spending time in the kitchen. With so many years of holiday recipes in our library, I wanted to take today to highlight some of the very best desserts weโ€™ve shared over the years.

Looking back through all the recipes is always so fun. I still canโ€™t believe how many holiday treats Iโ€™ve created and shared with you all. This really is the time of year that lights me up.

I know many of you already have your menus setโ€”and maybe even a pie or two already bakedโ€”but if youโ€™re still looking for that perfect dessert (or dessertsโ€ฆ because you can never have too many), this list is the place to start.

Need a good pie? My dadโ€™s favorite is the Molten Chocolate Crackle Pie. My brothers always go for the Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. My mom loves last yearโ€™s Polar Express Hot Chocolate while we decorate our family Christmas tree, and Asher does too. I make my Chocolate Covered Pretzels every yearโ€”theyโ€™re easy and great for snacking.

What desserts are you planning to make? Itโ€™s always so special to see what you all end up baking each year. And let me know what desserts youโ€™d like to see in Decemberโ€”if you have requests, share them below.

And Iโ€™m sure I said this last year, but my absolute favorite thing to do while baking this week is light a holiday candle and play some Christmas music!

Sweetened with mostly maple syrup, which pairs so nicely with pumpkin. I then added in a homemade chai spice mix, plenty of good vanilla extract, and a little heavy cream to keep the pie silky smooth. Still pretty traditional, but itโ€™s that chai spice mix that makes this pie over the top good.
