The season of fall brings out the true baker in me. Quite honestly its the smells that fill the house while the noise of our little ones fill the halls of our home. It's brings JOY to my soul. I cherish this time of year. It's also the best time of year to run outside because of the cool weather which makes it "ok" to have all the sweets & baked goods in the house! This recipe is fairly easy but just a little time consuming! You will want to bring this to any fall holiday parties or if you are having people over during the thanksgiving season! They will not disappoint I can promise you that!
