The editors at Martha Stewart.com description of this cheesecake . . . "Our key lime cheesecake is an easy mousse-like treat that blends the tartness of key lime pie with the richness of cheesecake. It's a no-bake wonder dessert, so you don't even need to turn on the stove."

"Pecan pie brownies are an unique dessert that's the perfection combination for people who love chocolate and pecan pie and could never decide between the two. Made by baking a sheet of thick chocolatey brownies and then adding a rich layer of pecan pie filling on top, these brownies pack a lot of flavor into each bite" description from Southern Living.

What can I say?  The photo really says it all since it is a definite winner.    I would give these brownies as a homemade sweet treat gift.

Cashews and chocolate sound perfect to me.  Perfect for homemade gift giving and your family will love them.  I've had similar candy and it was awesome.

This recipe comes from the Taste of Home.  The recipe creator says "I make this recipe for many bake sales at the local community college where I work. They are always the first to sell out."
