Happy First Day of Fall! It’s my favorite time of year. Time for apples, Halloween, family celebrations, leaves falling, the crisp smell in the air, and most of all….pumpkin everything. Last year, I began my Mad About Pumpkin blogging. So, I am starting it up again this year to keep the tradition going. You can never have too much pumpkin in my opinion. And there is always a new and fun way to whip it up into many unique recipes. So I thought I would take a favorite recipe of my boys, Marshmellow Treats, and add pumpkin to it. They were a hit! My boys even got a little extra vitamins in with their sweet treat, which to me is a plus! I hope you enjoy these scrumptious treats as much as we did.
