Pumpkin Pie Spice Bombs and a Give-Away!

       Happy Labor Day everyone!  We are having a busy day today that I will tell you all about tomorrow, but for now I wanted to quickly tell you about something that has been going on around  here already this weekend, plus kick off our Hot Cocoa Bomb Season Give-Away! 
     First of all, I put the picture of the Jack-O-Lantern Cocoa Bombs at the top of the post just to let you know that I have been making Pumpkin Pie Spice Bombs! They are always a favorite at the Ugly Sweater Express and my daughter Lindsey's favorite as well.  I flavor them a little differently from some of the other flavors, so I thought that I would share how I do it with you today.  Be sure to follow the tutorial for the basic Bomb here. Click on the pictures to read the directions for the Pumpkin Spice Bombs.

In a small bowl, use a teaspoon to spoon in 1 tsp. Of Nesquik per the number of Cocoa Bombs you will be making. In this case I put in 24 tsp. That is about 8 Tablespoons I guess.

Use the same tsp. to put in 2 1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice to the mix.

This is the Quik and the spice. Mix it together well. Then, take a pinch and taste it and see if you like the blend together. You don't want it to be too strong, but strong enough to taste through the chocolate.

Make the shells, fill them with marshmallow and the chocolate mix and put the bottoms on. I always put some sort of "button" on the bottom to show me what kind they are. Here I used orange M & Ms because they look kind of like a pumpkin!

      Yum! Pumpkin Pie Spice Hot Cocoa tastes so good on an Autumn day!  Sometimes, for an extra surprise, I put in a pumpkin shaped marshmallow, when they are in season that pops up from the bomb when it starts to be mixed in the hot milk.  That is always a fun treat.

         Now for the big news!  The Give-Away!
