What's an impressive dessert that I can make the day before Thanksgiving?!
My family moved across country, and I am still here for college!. I can't go "home" for Thanksgiving, so I am having dinner with my boyfriend's family!. I want to bring some kind of dessert but I need to make it the day before!. We'll be leaving around 6PM the night before Thanksgiving because we live 3 hours away!. Now, his Mom is a great baker, so I'm hoping for something simple like candy!. What can I make that will hold up!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

RRay has a really cute recipe in the Holiday issue that just came out for Pretzel Turtles!. It's a carmel (the wrapped kind in the bag) flattened with a rolling pin and wrapped around a pretzel nugget then dipped in melted semi sweet chocolate (double boiler for melting) and then coated with crushed almonds !. Let stand 3 hrs to set and put in a pretty basket tied with raffia and maybe some faux leaves!. Good luck!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
This is great because you can make it the day before and freeze it overnight!. It holds up well traveling!. You can serve it frozen or pull it out of the freezer a little while before serving!.
