Mini Pumpkin Shortbread

Posted on November 29, 2016 by realfoodrabbit

The inspiration for this Mini Pumpkin Shortbread came from the November monthly flavor kit from RawSpiceBar. They offer freshly ground, globally inspired spice & flavor kits that change monthly. You can sign up for just 1, 6 or 12 months. They also offer gift options for 3, 6 and 12 months (great for this time of year). Each month, 3 new flavor kits will arrive at your door, along with recipe ideas. It is a great way to not only sample new spice combinations, but to try out different recipes as well!
