These look delicious and I have noticed that the spiced nuts are everywhere on all the food blogs, they are a nice addition to so many dishes. Have seen a few recipes for pumpkin biscuits also, so I am guessing that Disney is right up with all the latest trends in food!

I was just wondering what the molasses is for in this recipe. I don’t see it mentioned when or how to use it.
Brooke says
Kelly — The molasses is not added in the original recipe, it looks like. (It’s listed, but not added, as you mentioned.) I would combine it with the pumpkin puree, adding this mixture in where the recipe says to add the pumpkin puree. Hope this helps!
