CrockPot Pumpkin Spice Latte's

I will be taking a blogging break for the rest of the week, however I had to post this last recipe before I sign off.  You all have got to try this recipe!  If any of you like coffee and pumpkin, this is a really great recipe to make.  

As stated in my last post, my family traveled down here to stay with us for a week.  I made this recipe yesterday and everyone absoluely loved it.  It's quick, easy, and soooo much cheaper then going out for coffee :)  The original recipe serves 2 people, but since I was feeding more then 2, I had to double it.  I also winded up putting an extra tablespoon of sugar...but the results were out of this world.

So....if any of you have some left over pumpkin and if you are into drinking coffee, this recipe is a must to try!  I promise, you will not regret making it :)

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone :)
