When entertaining guests, I bring out this savory soup while we're waiting for the main course. It's simple to make—just saute the onions early in the day and let the soup simmer until dinner-time. In winter, big bowls of it make a warming supper with a salad and biscuits.
Each layer's better than the last, from the crunchy crust to the sweetened cream cheese, vanilla pudding and, finally, fresh bites of apple topped with caramel and peanuts.
I created this candy by combining my husband's favorite cookie recipe and my mom's caramel dip. These sweets really appeal to kids...plus, they can help make them!—Tamara Holschen, Anchor Point, Alaska
Gooey chocolate, melty caramel, crunchy pecans...this may be the ultimate pan of brownies. Just one of these squares packs enough chocolate punch to satisfy your snacking mood.
