For me, pumpkin spice a nearly spiritual experience. I can’t go down to the local grocery store spice aisle and just pick up any ol’ bottle off the spice rack.
No… I need my pumpkin spice to transport me through October with visions of pumpkins, hay rides and bon fires. I need my pumpkin spice to stand strong on it’s aroma alone, not to mention having a deep and very rich flavor.
