Pumpkin Spice all Day Every Day

Who deemed pumpkins as queen bee of fall? Either way, pumpkin is the new black and I'm never going back. I'm obsessed with all of these spicy fall items.

1. The good ol' Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte

While you're at it, pair your latte with their Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, Pumpkin Bread, or Pumpkin Scone. 

2. Pumpkin Spice M&Ms

These are the new pretzel M&Ms. Period.

3. Pumpkin Spice Kahlua

Nothing will warm you up better than a little bit of this ;)

Suggestion: Pumpkin spice Martini

4. Pinterest Pinnable Pumpkin Spice Pudding Cookie Recipe (from sweettreatsmore.com)

Ingredients

.    1 cup butter flavored crisco (use plain crisco or butter if needed)

.    3/4 cup brown sugar

.    1/4 cup granulated sugar

.    1 (3.4 oz) package Jello Instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding

.    2 1/4 cups flour

.    1 tsp baking soda

.    2 eggs

.    1 tsp vanilla

.    1 cup milk or semisweet chocolate chips

.    24 rolos

Instructions

.    Preheat oven to 350.

.    1. Combine flour and soda until combined, set aside.

.    2. In mixing bowl beat crisco and sugars until smooth.
 Beat in pumpkin spice pudding until completely mixed in. 
Add vanilla and eggs and beat until combined.

.    3. Mix in dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips.

.    4. Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto cookie sheets 
lined with parchment paper. Flatten the dough slightly and
 press a rolo into the center. Form round ball of dough 
around the rolo.

.    5. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let cool. (I like to undercook
slightly and then let them cook a little more on the 
baking sheet after I've removed from the oven).

   Notes

.        If you can't find the Jell-O Instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding, use Vanilla instant pudding combined with 1- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

5. Pumpkin Shake at Bruxie (for the Orange County foodie)

Pumpkin Pie in a cup is really all you need in life. Well along with your waffle sandwich.
