Every fall I love to indulge in anything and everything with pumpkin, and pumpkin pie is no exception. These mini pumpkin pies are perfect for Thanksgiving and all those moments when you just need to get your pumpkin fix. Plus, their size makes them perfect for portion control (although I actually ate 4 of these #noragrets). And yes, you can eat the actual pumpkin!
