So after you have gone trick-or-treating with the kids and you have eaten all the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups out of their Halloween buckets where can you go next to satisfy that sweet tooth? Let me tell you!
As I was browsing around one of my favorite food sites Our Best Bites, I ran across a recipe that forced me out of my chair and down the stairs with a list of groceries for my husband. He was thrilled to be heading out at ten o'clock at night to accommodate his wife's cravings...trust me! Here it is...Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes.
So basically what the geniuses at Our Best Bites have done is they have taken the BEST part of Thanksgiving (the pie of course!) okay the turkey's not bad...and they have put it into a delicious milkshake you can enjoy all fall long! Enough talk here are the numbers...
1/3 C. pumpkin, canned or homemade
1/4 - 1/2 C milk
1/4 t vanilla
1/2 t cinnamon
1/19 t cloves (just use a 1/8 t measure and fill it half way, or do a pinch)
1/16 t nutmeg
2 T brown sugar
2 C vanilla ice cream
1 - 2 graham crackers
Pop everything but graham crackers in a blender. Start with 1/4 C milk and then slowly add more if needed to make the blender process it all. I used somewhere between 1/4 - 1/2 C.
Sprinkle with crushed graham cracker crumbs before serving.
