My mom used to make this every year around Christmas time, and it was always so good! It’s actually a perfect dessert for any occasion, but I still associate it with Christmas to this day, and of all the desserts I make, this one is definitely the most requested!
Today I’m also featuring some photos and links of some of my family’s favorite holiday appetizers and desserts! Hope you enjoy!
Don’t forget to stop by Tidy Mom tomorrow for the Holly Bloggy Christmas Memories and Traditions event!

chess cake sounds amazing! I have been meaning to make something like this for a while. Perhaps it will appear on my Christmas table. And yes I shall be linking up!
I love that you call it "that green stuff"! 🙂 My family makes it, too, but calls it Watergate Salad. I always thought it was just a name WE had come up with, but then a year or so ago saw the recipe – with that title – in a Kraft magazine!
Going to check out your salsa dip and black bin pinwheels now! Yum!
All the recipes look GREAT! Thanks for linking to TMTT. Have a blessed Christmas with your family and friends.
