Oh my golly, ya’ll!
It is FINALLY my favorite time of year. The summer heat is dying down. The crazy schedules are coming to a halt. The days of watermelon and popsicles are being replaced with warm bowls of chili and pumpkin spiced lattes.
Which is totally cool with me because while I do love summer, fall is pretty hard to beat.
I love everything about fall.
The sights and sounds of the coming weather makes me want to grab a sweater and curl up with a good book next to a warm, cackling fire. But the delicious treats that fall promises are hands down my favorites. From pumpkin bread to pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spiced coffees and pumpkin pie ice cream, I want to devour it ALL!
But while I was flipping through my personal cookbook (Yes, I still have an actual printed cookbook, not just a Pinterest board!), I noticed there was something missing. There was not a simple PUMPKIN PIE FUDGE recipe anywhere to be found!
So what’s a pumpkin-crazed girl to do?
Find one, of course! (Ha! You thought I was going to whip up an amazing recipe, right off the top of my head, didn’t you? Well, you should know better!) 😉
