'Tis the season for pumpkin everything!!! I am guilty of obsessing over pumpkin this time of year...
I love going to the store & finding all of the special Pumpkin Spice goodies that are out there.
Yesterday I bought Pumpkin Spice English Muffins & had one for breakfast this morning... so good.
I especially love the special Pumpkin Spice Kisses! If you have not tried them, you definitely should!
It is so easy to eat one after another... yikes! I knew they would be so great with Pumpkin Spice Cookies,
which would make these cookies so cute for a fall party. Oh, how I love this time of year!
