Continuing this week with some of my favorite fall treats! If you missed Tuesday’s post on a Harvest Ice Cream Bar be sure to head back to check it out. And while you’re here, take a look at our Pumpkin Pie recipe that is always a hit each year. Today though, we are talking about Mini Bourbon Pecan Pies. I mean, yummy! This one packs my favorite pie with the husbands favorite spirit and let me tell you it’s a win-win. Plus, all things are made exponentially better when they are tiny 😉
