Yummy Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

Reading all the entries for the Starbucks giveaway has me thinking of all the yummy fall coffee drinks.  Last year I found this recipe and made it for our Ladies’ Cookie Exchange.  Everyone loved it.  I multiplied everything by four to have a big batch.  And the smell was outrageous.

I have another amazing giveaway coming tomorrow.  You don’t want to miss this one.  I am so excited!   If you haven’t entered to win the Starbuck’s gift card and beautifully designed card from Melissa at Kaufman’s Cottage there is still time.  Just click here.
