Mocha Pumpkin Spice Latte with Pumpkin Caramel

 Everyone has done it already: posted an Instagram of their hand wrapped around a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. But since I live on Martha’s Vineyard, land of the no-Starbucks, I’ve got to be resourceful. Here’s an upgraded version to your PSL: a Mocha Pumpkin Spice Latte with homemade Pumpkin Caramel. And it’s super simple, I promise!

Who knew putting pumpkin puree in your coffee would be THE fall trend that would last for an entire decade? (Heck there’s even a Facebook page!) Yeah, you heard that right. The Pumpkin Spice Latte turns TEN years old this year – amazing! So in honor of that, and in honor of our current obsession with pumpkin, we’re sharing a recipe for a kicked up version of your loving PSL. Call it a MPSLwPC!

Did you know…There have been over 29,000 tweets that have featured the hash tag: #pumpkinspice since August of 2012? –Starbucks

To take it over the top, we created a pumpkin caramel recipe that you can drizzle not only over your coffee, but your pancakes, waffles, desserts, and even…caramel corn. Stay tuned for that recipe!

    This sounds decadent! I think I’d end up eating all of that pumpkin caramel before it had a chance to top anything!

    Oh, Nelly! You have outdone yourself! I want to put this stuff on cake or on ice cream. Or in a pie. And on a pie. Oh, and on the lovely latte, too. Yay!
