Ready for fall where ever you are?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing says Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving more than the sight of a pumpkin patch or the smell of something pumpkin cooking in the oven. And, it is starting to feel like fall here in Texas at least for a few days, but it would be great if those hot days were behind us for a few months.<\/p>\n

I think pumpkin and chocolate make a great pairing in anything. Years ago I did a pumpkin chocolate chip muffins <\/a>that is so good you will go back for seconds. And since I love making scones and I love taking baked items to craft circle this was a recipe waiting to happen and happened it did this past week I received so many compliments on this recipe I decided to post it right away because they can be made and frozen so during the holidays all you have to do is preheat your oven and pop these little pumpkins in the oven .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My husband loves spicy things and if I\u2019m not spicy enough ( haaaaa, that is so fun – to me anyway) he will be the first one in front of the oven if he knows I\u2019m baking something with all these fragrant ingredients.<\/p>\n

These little scones are drizzled with two glazes; one plain and one with maple syrup and cinnamon and nutmeg. If you decide to freeze these, freeze before baking and drizzling because you will want the glaze to melt all over as soon as they come out of the oven.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/strong><\/span> Remember this Pumpkin Tomato Soup<\/a>, ya just have to try it soon. It’s delicious and belly warming.<\/p>\n
