She Makes Pumpkin Creme Brûlée With Tiny Pumpkins

I love pretty much anything pumpkin.

But I'm not talking an occasional Pumpkin Spiced Latte or slice of pumpkin pie. I'm talking year-round pumpkin recipes, like these super amazing pumpkin cinnamon rolls.

Really, there is no better time than the fall to dip your fork into all things pumpkin. As the weather changes and the leaves start to fall, it's the perfect time to enjoy some seasonal treats cuddled up with the ones you love.

This amazing DIY makes great use out of those cute little pumpkins that are too small to carve into the perfect jack-o'-lantern. Sink your spoon into the fanciest pumpkin dessert you could think up: creme brûlée! This recipe is sure to impress even the most avid pumpkin-haters out there.
