This frosting is delicious on a vanilla or chocolate cake, on cookies, or just eating by the spoonful! For an extra special dessert try it topped on or between brownies (our new brownie mix will available for purchase on October 1st!).
Below we made some fun dessert cups and added mini chocolate chips atop.
This frosting has all the pumpkin pie spices that we love this time of the year and make it perfectly festive for just about everything!
Another way to use this frosting is to make a sheet cake and use cookie cutters that are festive and top with the frosting — my kids loved this! And of course topped with sprinkles too!
