The holidays were meant for rich, elaborate desserts that you might not have the rest of the year; desserts such as these.
But, what sets these delicious meal-enders apart is that they can all be made in your truck’s trusty slow cooker.
So, if you are finishing off a trip and have a holiday event to go to straight from unloading, these will make you look like a holiday cooking superstar.
