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.
