October always marks a very special time for fall fans, spooky season! You know what that means... it's time to bring out fall flavors. Another key to enjoying the Halloween season is gathering with your family & friends and sharing the unique flavors of fall. How do you guarantee that you have spook flavors?
Snuggle a Warm Coffee
One key to cold weather is snuggling up with a warm cup of coffee. Our favorite for fall is our RuCafe Perfecto Espresso- Brazil. Pair it with your favorite maple or pumpkin creamer to make it extra cozy.
Comfort Food
While a warm cup of coffee is already snug there is still more that opportunity to get even cozier. For the ultimate comfort experience, let's add a fall dessert that pairs well with coffee like a Pumpkin & Caramel cake! Use our featured recipe below with one of our favorite products Perú- Manjar Blanco.
