Snacktastic Saturday: Pumpkin Spice Latte

Fall is officially almost here! It's not the crunching of the leaves that tells you, but the arrival of Pumpkin Spice Lattes at coffee shops everywhere. Unfortunately for me, making a daily visit to a coffee shop is out of the question. But that's okay since I can enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Latte without even leaving my home, whenever I want. 


I keep it simple when it comes to making a Pumpkin Spice Latte & make it in the mug itself (hence why there's a bit of pumpkin along the edges of the cup).

  12. I have never been to a coffee shop which is odd being that we seem to literally have a drive through coffee shop on every corner here. I like making my own and will give this one a try. I love pretty much anything pumpkin.

  37. I've just had to go and see if we can now get pumpkin puree in the UK, as previously you couldn't. I don't drink coffee, but wonder if it would work with hot chocolate?

    ReplyDelete
