Pumpkin Spice Syrup

Pumpkin Spice Syrup takes your favorite pumpkin spice flavor & puts in in a pancake syrup. It’s easy pumpkin recipes like this that really make your morning!

Pumpkin Spice Syrup

I know I mentioned that I am not a huge fan of pumpkin flavored things- but the rest of my family is.  I spent an entire day in the kitchen playing with recipes & ideas to come up with some new family favorites for the season.  We happened to be planning on a big batch of pancakes for the weekend & normally I would whip up some blueberry syrup for that.  But I really wanted something that didn’t feel like summer- I wanted something warm & cozy feeling.  So I came up with this

Pumpkin Spice Syrup 

Pumpkin Spice Syrup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  • Pour corn syrup, sugar, water, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice & nutmeg in 2 qt saucepan.
  • Whisk to combine & heat over med-high heat until it comes to a boil
  • Whisk constantly - let boil & cook 3-5 minutes
  • Remove from heat & slowly pour in evaporated milk- whisking the entire time.
  • Whisk in vanilla

It’s absolutley FABULOUS! All the smells & flavors of fall – drizzed on my breakfast. Plus- it’s so simple- you have to make it. I know this is something I make often & always have on hand this time of year. It’s not only great on pancakes, waffles or french toast, but I love adding it to my ice cream & my morning coffee. No wonder we go through it so quickly- right?!

Painted Play Mat & Pom Tree Kids

*Disclosure: Sponsored Post- I have been compensated for this post either monetarily or with product.

Don’t you just love it when you find things for the kids that not only push their creativity but keep them entertained for hours??  I absolutely love watching the kids think outside the box & work together to put ideas into motion.  This past week I had the opportunity to play with the Pom Tree Kids craft kits with my kids.  There are so many great kits- we wanted to use all of them in some way to really enjoy them as a whole.

 

Painted Play Mat & Pom Tree Kids

We decided to create this Painted Play Mat for the Pom Tree Kids Sparkle Fun Playhouse Kit, Over the Moon Creamery Play set Kit & Sweet Sundaes Treat Truck & then use the supplies in the Sticker Tubs & Mega Kits to accessorize the mat & make it perfect for setting the play area.

These are all the kits we were sent.  It was a creative explosion here.

Step 1 – Build your play house & other structures to get the scale when deciding on the size of your mat.

This was great.  I gave it to the girls & told them to follow the directions.  They were able to do it all without much help from me.  I LOVE that everything is peel & stick stickers so I didn’t have to worry about glue on the carpet.   Gotta love no mess crafting- especially for the kids.

Step 2 – Assemble your furniture too.

Step 3 – lay out your canvas & place your structures in the areas where you would want them. Cut canvas accordingly.

Step 4 – Draw out your town.  I wanted a park like setting with a road for the ice cream truck so that was what I sketched out.

Step 5– place something underneath your canvas so the paint doesn’t bleed through.  Start painting in your mat.

I used multi surface acrylic paint.  It dried within a couple hours.  I did a quick light coat of paint.  I didn’t want it to saturate the fabric & I also liked the spotty darks & lights by not getting heavy handed with the paint.  I felt it added to making the road look worn & grass some depth.

Step 6 – once your mat is dry- stick on the foam & felt sticker flowers & other shapes to fit your design.

I also used the pom pom balls & glued them on for bushes.

Now your mat is ready for you to place your structures on it & play.

Rustic Fall Mantle

I finally wrapped up the finishing touches on the fall mantle.  I love to decorate for each season & bring the changing of the seasons in.  I especially love fall & all the decor it brings.  The colors & tones just make me happy.  I did a couple new projects to add to my already existing items I have had & used on other occations.  I think the eclectic collection works well.

I made these rope balls this past January. I love the neutral tones they add.

I painted this on a random board I had picked up in a salvage bin. The leaf pattern is a stencil & then I did the rest free hand.
Again- loving the neutrals. I also gave it a little rub while the paint was wet to distress it a little.

I picked up this garland with the beeds. I love the tones of amber it adds to the mantle.

I picked up some random dried beans & such for this vase.
I just grabbed some colors I liked- I didn’t even care to know what they were.

Here’s the view from the kitchen- I love how it flows with the first corn husk wreath I made.

Then a little closer so you can see the whole thing together.
 
 
I’m going to be a little sad when this has to come down for Christmas decor.
But I’m hoping I love what I do for Christmas just as much.

Candy Corn Cookie Dough Brownies

Don’t miss my Fall Table Setting I’m sharing over at Design, Dining & Diapers today.

I don’t know about you- but one thing I really look forward to this time of year is candy corn.  I LOVE IT!  It usually doesn’t last long enough in this house to make it into recipes.  But I was really good & used all self control this time because when I bought it- I had this recipe in mind.  I knew that the mix of the brownies, the dough & the colors of the candy corn would make the perfect Fall/ Halloween treat.

 

Candy Corn Cookie Dough Brownies

 

I thought I might hold off on the Halloween type posts until at least October 1st.  But I just couldn’t help myself with this one.

The thought of it kept swirling around in my head & the craving just got stronger & stronger.

 

Candy Corn Cookie Dough BrowniesThe heat made a week long return after we had such fall like temps.

But I ran the oven anyway because I just couldn’t wait any longer to make these.

Oh my- so decadent.  One with a tall glass of milk will take care of any brownie, cookie dough or candy corn craving you might be having.

 

Candy Corn Cookie Dough Brownies

 

Candy Corn Cookie Dough Brownies

Ingredients

  • Your favorite brownies - baked & cooled boxed or homemade
  • 3/4 cup butter 1-1/2 sticks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup candy corn

Instructions

  • Bake your brownies & allow to cool to room temperature.
  • For the dough- beat butter & your sugars in mixer bowl until well combined.
  • Add in your flour, milk & vanilla. Beat until combined- don't over beat.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips
  • Spread out in even layer over the top of your brownies.
  • Scatter your candy corn over the top & press in
  • Cover & refrigerate several hours before cutting.
  • Cut while cold & remove from pan. (I recommend close to bite size- not large pieces)
  • Allow to come close to room temperature before serving.
  • Store in air tight container for several days.

Notes

**If you are concerned about killing bacteria in the flour, you can either pour the flour onto a baking sheet & bake in a 350-degree oven for 5 minutes or place on a microwave-safe plate & microwave for at least 1-2 minutes or until it reaches 160 degrees before adding to your dough mixture.

Take these to your next pot luck or gathering.  They will be the first dish that runs out- I promise.
