Brown Sugar Pumpkin Blossoms #LeftoversClub

If you make but one pumpkin recipe this season, it should definitely be Brown Sugar Pumpkin Blossoms.

Brown Sugar Pumpkin Blossoms Oh hey there October where did you come from? Last time I looked it was September, I was boarding a plane for 4 glorious days in Idaho thanks to the Idaho Potato Commission and now it’s October. Before I know it we will be drowning in all things turkey, latkes and holiday party food.

Brown Sugar Pumpkin Blossoms For now though let’s just take it one day at a time and that day is Leftovers Club time. I’m actually a day late here, but will you forgive me since I spent half the day flying cross country? I promise these Brown Sugar Pumpkin Blossoms will make up for my tardiness. Now I’m well aware that I spent the beginning of this week making fun of the big bad pumpkin, but I can’t resist that sweet squash and had to return.

    Oooooh these are pretty cookies, Susan! I love that brown sugar/pumpkin flavour combo. I don’t think I’ve seen pumpkin kisses here in Canada (why oh why are we always deprived?!) but if I do, I’m snatching them up so that I can make these exactly as you’ve written.

      The filling is white chocolate but the outside tastes like pumpkin flavored candy but the same texture as a hershey kiss. Does that make sense?
