Oh my! this sounds absolutely decadent! Yuuuuu-uuuummmmm!

If tomatoes are a fruit, then isn’t ketchup technically a

smoothie?

Oh, my. Does this sound like just about the best thing in the entire universe? Oh, my, oh MY!! Yes it does, yes, oh yes. Must go make some shortbread right now. Got the caramel sauce, the cream cheese, everything but the sour cream and the candy. Well worth a trip to the store!

Have been looking at a very old cookbook and it says to use swieback for the crumbs for a cheesecake crust. Hmmm. Makes sense. Wonder if swieback is still available?

Oh – just remembered a package of Werther's Origninals! Bet that would work just fine for the toffee.

Thank you, Leah! Heart

Yes, using the pecan sandies does sound like a great idea. Then, you could break up some pecans to go with the caramel sauce, or just put a few pecans on top of the whole thing as a garnish. Wouldn't THAT be even more impressive than it already sounds!

Guess we are supposed to wait until fall for the pumpkin desserts, but we really need to test this out just to make sure it is worthy of our friends and families, don't we, Leah?
