Spice Cake Pumpkin Bread

This became my favorite holiday dessert the instant it touched my tongue. This treat is decadent, rich, and unfathomably easy to make. You will just need 2 ingredients.. yes two! Pumpkin filling and Spice Cake mix.

Mix these two buddies up and dump into a bread loaf pan. I used 3 small disposable loaf pans to make it easier for gifting.

Bake the bread until it passes a tooth pick test. The small pans took about 45 minutes in 300 degrees Fahrenheit  A normal sized pan usually takes about an hour at 350 degrees. Once the bread is cool, you can pull out your secret ingredient... Cream Cheese Frosting!

This frosting isn't exactly necessary because the bread is already so sweet and rich, but it does add an amazing, complimenting flavor. 

Pretzels Dipped in Melted Frosting

This is a twist on a classic sweet and salty treaty; chocolate covered pretzels. It all began when I was out of chocolate bark, but had pretzels and a variety of frosting sitting in my pantry. An easy way to melt frosting for dipping is to scoop about 2 tablespoons in a small microwaveable bowl for about 10-15 seconds. If you need to heat it up again, put it in the microwave for about another 5 seconds. You can either dip the pretzels or even use a spoon to drizzle the frosting over the pretzels for a fancy schmancy look.

Let them stand on wax paper, it took about 12 hours for them to completely dry. I added some Christmas sprinkles for the occasion, but these treats can be made for any holiday with the plethora of sprinkle choices out there.
