Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

When I started this blog, there was a blog post trending about pumpkin pie milkshakes.  Countless people sent me the link.  So, by popular demand, I made one!  It was fun, easy and delicious.  And most of the ingredients are probably right in your cupboard and freezer.

Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
Recipe by Our Best Bites

1/3 C pumpkin, canned or homemade
1/4 – 1/2 C milk
1/4 t vanilla
1/2 t cinnamon
1/16 t cloves (just use a 1/8 t measure and fill it half way, or do a pinch)
1/16 t nutmeg
2 T brown sugar
2 C vanilla ice cream
1-2 graham crackers

Ingredients!

I kind of just threw some milk into the blender, added some pumpkin and pumpkin spice and blended it up.  I used a food processor because it was more readily available, but definitely use a blender if you have one.  Then sprinkle with some graham cracker crumbs.  I didn't measure at all, I just eye-balled it.  And it was so good!  It reminded me so much of Dairy Queen's Blizzard, but so many less calories.

Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses

I love it when candy makers put out special flavors to complement the season.  Hershey is especially good at doing this when it comes to their Hershey Kisses.  From peppermint to candy corn flavors, none of them disapoint --- not to me, anyway!

I was gifted some Pumpkin Spice Kisses for the blog (thanks, Sarah!).  I couldn't wait to try them!

The packaging is so pretty with its fall colors of orange and brown.  These are very hard to find, and I have looked around at every store (out of curiosity) and haven't seen them anywhere. 

When you open your kiss, you discover that even the little flag is different - it has PUMPKIN SPICE printed in white on a warm brown.  The kiss itself is a pumpkin orange with a cream-colored center. 

Let me tell you - these kisses are yummy!  They taste just like fall spices and are very sweet and creamy.  There is no hint of chocolate, so, if you get a hold of these, don't expect them to taste anything like your usual kisses.  I only wish that Hershey would make them more readily available!  I didn't even know such a thing existed until a few weeks ago.  Thanks again to Sarah! :)

Here is a pretty promotional picture of what the inside is like:

Pick up a bag if you can find them.
