Something funny that happens around here is that Mark will often comment, "This recipe is in my Top 10 desserts." He's said that, oh, about 37 times.

Here are some desserts that have been absolute hits...and in the "top 10"...for both him and my dad over the years.

Dad-Approved Desserts for Father's Day

Coffee Turtle Ice Cream Pie

If your dad loves the combination of coffee, chocolate, and caramel, this recipe will make him swoon. Do dads swoon? He will after one bite of this ice cream pie!

Oatmeal Bourbon Raisin Cookies

What is it about dads that makes them love oatmeal raisin cookies? Seriously. I've wondered about this my entire life. This recipe for oatmeal BOURBON raisin cookies is a winner...even for self-professed raisin haters!

Not-So-Key Lime Pie

Who says you HAVE TO have Key Limes to make a great Key Lime Pie? OK...maybe technically, that's a fact, but you can still make a fantastic lime pie without them. This one is always a major hit with the men around here.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie

I'll admit that I could put EVERY ice cream and ice cream pie on my husband's "top 10" list. This is WAY up on the list! This peanut butter ice cream pie is literally 5 ingredients!

7-Layer Cookies

No dad can resist the 7-Layer Cookie! Add a scoop of ice cream, and you're really going to win the Favorite Kid Award!

Dad's Upside-Down Pecan-Apple Pie

This pie is FLIPPED once baked, and that brown sugar-pecan top makes this pie so special. Maybe every pie should have a brown-sugar pecan crust. Pie + Dad = a Happy Father's Day.

Cherry Pie Bars

Speaking of pie, make these cherry pie bars! They're a cross between and sugar cookie and a cherry pie. Every time I make them, Mark asks me to make them again. ;)
