Fabulous Food Friday #101

A friend of mine reads my blog and knew that I was short handed on pumpkin recipes for my self proclaimed "pumpkin recipe month". She so wonderfully passed along this recipe and I was so excited to bake it. It called for blueberries, which I bought. However, every time I went the fridge, I would grab a few to snack on until there were three left. Not quite enough for the recipe! So I substituted them for the next best thing...mini Hershey's Kisses (found in the baking isle)! Don't they have as many antioxidants as blueberries...well, none, but they taste just as good, right? So, thanks for the recipe, Dawnette! I know everyone is going to love it as much and I do (three slices later...)!
