October is one of my favorite months! Not only are the Fall colors bright and beautiful, but this month also celebrates one of my favorite things: Dessert! Yes people, October is National Dessert Month. So I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Fall treats with all of you along with where you can go and get them.
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies! I am a huge fan of whoopie pies, but one of my all time favorites are the Pumpkin Whoopie Pies at Magnolia Bakery. The cakes are soft and pillowy and filled with delicious pumpkin cream cheese filling. And you don’t have to travel all the way to NYC, we are lucky enough here in Chicago to have our very own Magnolia Bakery downtown on Block 37.
Apple Pie! I love apples all year-round, but the Fall varieties in particular are my favorite (Honey Crisp, Jonagold, Fuji), and they make the most delicious pies. Our friends at The Sugar Path in Geneva make the most beautiful pies that taste amazing! You can tell that these pies are made with love!
Pumpkin Pie Blizzard! I was just introduced to the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard from Dairy Queen last week by my husband Jay and OMG, it tasted exactly like pumpkin pie in a creamy delicious ice cream form…whipped cream and all. Go get one today and let me know what you think.
