November 29, 2013 By Delia

Thanksgiving is an annual national holiday observed in North America, characterized by religious observances and the traditional meal. It is not an exaggeration to say that planning for the Thanksgiving meal itself occupies much time of people as much as the event itself. It is also such an opportune time to prepare the best sweet treats for a fitting end to a hearty meal. Consider these:
