So last week I got to do one of my favorite things. I spent a glorious hour, mostly by myself, just wandering around Target (my daughter was asleep in her carrier and my son was at preschool; that somewhat counts as alone time, right?!) I just love discovering all of the fun things Target has to offer. Ya know, all those fun things that I don’t really need, and probably shouldn’t be adding to my cart? I swear it’s darn near impossible to leave that place without shelling out at least fifty bucks! Please tell me I’m not alone here.

Once I made it over to the seasonal section, I immediately started scanning the shelves with all of the yummy fall candies and treats. And then I spotted them. Pumpkin Spice M&Ms!

I instantly knew that I had to have them, and that baking was on the horizon. Well, just as long as they actually tasted good. I mean, don’t you hate when you have such high hopes about a new food, and then you get home only to find that it’s just not that good? I’ve had that happen before. But not this time! These Pumpkin Spice M&Ms do NOT disappoint! They are perfectly chocolaty with just a hint of pumpkin spice. I personally like that the pumpkin flavor isn’t overwhelming; it’s the perfect amount.

Alright y’all, seriously, MAKE THESE! 🙂
