It’s my favorite time of year.  The mornings and evenings are cooling off; perfect for family walks, the house is trimmed with festive fall colors, and the kitchen is filled with the smell of spiced-baked goods.  While the leaves aren’t changing here in Arizona we anticipate the start of Fall when the shelves turn to pumpkin everything!  This year I experimented with making mini muffins with Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® Perfectly Pumpkin Premium Cake Mix.  And just for fun, and a little extra flavor, I dressed them up to look like acorns.

I love doctoring up boxed mixes to make delicious baked goods, it’s an easy and fun way to get creative in the kitchen.  With a slight alteration of the ingredients the possibilities are endless.  And, this year Pillsbury™ is helping me celebrate the season with delicious flavors like pumpkin spice and caramel apple.

Note, these muffins taste fantastic on their own, but turning them into little acorns just makes it more fun to eat!
