#FallFlavors #CollectiveBias
Guys!!! It’s September which means it’s pumpkin season! I have been itching to get into some fall pumpkin baking but have a pact with my husband that promises no pumpkin before this month. I tend to get a little carried away and it turns out I’m the only one in the house who cares for the flavor. I wanted to start by gently dipping my toes in but when I found Dunkin’ Donuts® Pumpkin Spice Coffee AND M&M’s® in Pumpkin Spice Latte flavor (available exclusively at Target) I decided to go all-in.
Does anyone else get sucked in to the Target seasonal section? It’s like they knew I’d be tempted with their pumpkin flavored aisles of goodness. It didn’t (or did) help that Cartwheel (Target’s coupon app) currently has a Mars AND Dunkin’ Donuts® coupon running. How can you say no when there is a discount involved?! But let’s get back to the recipe. After all, I know you all are super excited to see how I created a biscotti using a cake mix!
I chose to make a biscotti because cupcakes don’t get eaten often here in the One Sweet Appetite home. Cookies, however, get devoured. Especially a good biscotti. A quick little background on the cookie… Biscotti is a twice baked crisp cookie that is amazing paired with a good ol’ cup of coffee. I’ve made it several times in the past (almond and candy cane versions can be found here) but thought it might be fun to simplify the recipe a tad and create a cake mix version. It tastes absolutely amazing fresh out of the oven but I took things a step further and added a little bit of M&M’s® Pumpkin Spice Latte crunch!
When you pull the cookie out of the oven (the second time) you’ll dip it in a melted chocolate and sprinkle some roughly chopped candies right on top. When you pair these with the Dunkin’ Donuts® Pumpkin Spice Coffee you get a triple dose of delicious. The beauty of this is that you can switch it up by trying white chocolate for a whole new flavor!
I loved the fun fall flavor I cooked up. What fun recipes using Mars chocolate candies and Dunkin’ Donuts® Pumpkin Spice coffee would you try?

Yum! I love biscotti, even when I’m not dipping them in anything. What a great flavor combo to enjoy! #client
