Even though you’ve been seeing pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice Cookie Cups, and apple recipes galore for about a month now!

It sure doesn’t feel like fall here this week. This week’s weather looks better than 3/4 of our summer was. Ha!  And no doubt I’m going to savor every last drop of summer weather that I can get.

Nothing says fall flavor like Pumpkin Spice Hershey’s Kisses candies! Their beautiful brown and orange foils make them a perfect addition to Halloween parties and harvest-themed candy dishes.  They are every bit as good as you may think and they were the perfect addition to these mini Pumpkin Spice Cookie Cups.

Are you a fan of pumpkin-flavored desserts?  Full disclosure: I never really liked pumpkin until just this past year.

I just decided I didn’t like it and so I always passed on pumpkin desserts of any kind.  Then I slowly realized I did like it somewhat….a little bit more than somewhat.  It just has to be in the right kind of dessert.

I still can’t be bothered with pumpkin pie or anything too hard core like that.  Maybe someday my taste buds will adapt to that, as well!
