    I didn’t set out to make this 5 Minute Spiced Pumpkin Butter, but I’m so glad I did. This butter is one of those happy accidents that sometimes happens when you’re working on something else, but it tastes so darn good you have to stop what you’re working on and immediately take photos and prepare a post. Yep, it’s that good.

    It's perfect for all things pumpkin spice - use as a mix in for ice cream or make these bars or smear it on toast or many other delicious ways.
